摘要
We report the case of a 57-year-old patient admitted for dyspnea and dry cough. Thoracic radiograph showed a right pneumothorax and right paracardiac opacity. Thoracic drainage was carried out allowing the return of the lung at the wall. Chest CT-scan revealed right upper mediastinopulmonary mass taking contrast material associated with a nodular thickening of the pleura. CT-guided biopsy of the mass and the pleural. nodules concluded to pulmonary leiomyosarcoma. Death occurred one month after diagnosis confirmation. Pneumothorax is a usual mode of revealing sarcoma's pulmonary metastases; however, it is exceptionally associated with primitive pulmonary sarcomas. Our case is the second published case, to our knowledge, of primitive pulmonary leiomyosarcoma presenting with pneumothorax. (C) 2009 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
