Chronic herniation of the lung in a patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease. Case report and review of the literature
Thorac Cardiovasc Surg.
1998 Jun.
Abstract
Lung herniation is a rare condition and can be classified by both anatomical site and etiology. A 70-year-old man was referred with dyspnea, productive cough, and right-sided chest pain. Radiological investigation showed healed rib fractures and a lung herniation between ribs 8 and 9. Two years after surgical repair the patient is free of complaints. Treatment can be conservative or surgical, but as experience is limited no long-term results have been reported.
