摘要：
Spontaneous hemothorax in neurofibromatosis type 1 rarely occurs, is potentially life-threatening, and requires expedient management. We present a case of massive hemothorax in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 caused by spontaneous rupture of the right internal mammary artery. A subsequently diagnosed underlying pheochromocytoma may be implicated in rupture of the arterial wall.
