We report a patient with pneumothorax caused by a metastatic tumour from carcinoma of the tongue, which had given rise to a bronchopleural fistula with subsequent induction of pneumothorax. Although rare, pulmonary metastasis should be considered in the aetiology of spontaneous pneumothorax. Despite advanced disease, surgical treatment may be feasible.
我们报告了一名因舌癌转移瘤导致气胸的患者，该转移瘤引发了支气管胸膜瘘，随后导致气胸。尽管罕见，但在自发性气胸的病因中应考虑肺转移。尽管疾病已进展，但手术治疗仍可能可行。
