Spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) is commonly encountered by general surgeons and is usually caused by rupture of subpleural blebs. Although uncommon, SP may be due to primary pulmonary histiocytosis X, a disease characterized by eosinophilic and histiocytic infiltration of lung tissue. It primarily affects young smokers and usually presents with symptoms of cough, dyspnea, and chest pain. A young adult male with this disease presented with recurrent SP and was successfully treated with thoracoscopic stapling of bullae and pleural abrasion.
自发性气胸（SP）是普通外科医生常遇到的疾病，通常由胸膜下肺大疱破裂引起。虽然不常见，但SP可能由原发性肺组织细胞增多症X引起，该疾病的特征是肺组织出现嗜酸性粒细胞和组织细胞浸润。它主要影响年轻吸烟者，通常表现为咳嗽、呼吸困难和胸痛症状。一名患有这种疾病的年轻成年男性出现复发性SP，通过胸腔镜下肺大疱缝合和胸膜摩擦术成功治愈。
