Abstract:
Lung expansion after pneumonectomy is well documented in animal models like dogs or mice. We present a lung expansion case after left pneumonectomy for an advanced carcinoid tumor in a 16-year-old patient with hemoptysis and acute dyspnea. This tumor was localized in the left upper lobe (LUL) invading the left main bronchus. During the follow-up we noticed a real growth of the remaining lung.

Pneumothorax is a medical condition defined by the buildup of air in the pleural space between the lungs and the chest wall. This accumulation of air can lead to partial or complete lung collapse, resulting in a range of clinical manifestations. Understanding the clinical presentation and effective management strategies is crucial for healthcare professionals in providing timely and appropriate care to individuals with pneumothorax.

A pneumothorax is a condition where air builds up in the space between the lung and the chest wall, causing the lung to collapse. This condition arises when air enters the space between the parietal and visceral pleura, disrupting the negative pressure essential for lung inflation. This can lead to a partial or complete collapse of the lung.
Pneumothorax can be even further classified as spontaneous, traumatic, and tension pneumothorax.
