          Abstract

          The coexistence of pneumothorax and pneumopericardium in patients with primary lung cancer is a very rare phenomenon. We report one such case, in which squamous cell carcinoma of the lung was complicated by pneumopericardium and pneumothorax. Several explanations of the mechanisms involved will be discussed.

          Spontaneous Pneumopericardium: Case Report and Review of the Literature

          An 84-year-old man presented with acute dyspnea and chest pain attributed to his long medical history of cardiorespiratory problems. Admission chest roentgenogram revealed a moderate pneumopericardium and a cavitary lesion in the base of the right lung. The lesion was found to be a bronchogenic carcinoma perforating through the upper pericardium to form a bronchopericardial fistula, confirmed by autopsy. A review of the literature concerning the various causes of pneumopericardium, the clinical features and the principles of treatment is included.
