Lung hernia is defined as a protrusion of lung parenchyma beyond the confines of the musculoskeletal thorax. Lung hernias can be classified according to location (i.e., cervical, thoracic, or diaphragmatic) and etiology. Approximately 80% of reported cases of lung hernia are acquired, usually related to trauma or surgery. Symptoms are few, infrequent, and vague. A painless, local, and inconstant bulging is evident on physical examination. The diagnosis of a lung herniation is accomplished using chest radiographs in the most cases. Surgery is usually reserved for large hernias or incarcerated hernias.
肺疝被定义为肺实质突出到胸壁肌肉骨骼结构范围之外。肺疝可根据位置（即颈部、胸部或膈肌部）和病因进行分类。报告的肺疝病例中约80%是后天获得性的，通常与创伤或手术有关。症状较少、不常见且不明确。体格检查时可发现无痛、局部且不持续的隆起。在大多数情况下，通过胸部X线片来完成肺疝的诊断。手术通常适用于大的肺疝或嵌顿性肺疝。
