Abstract:
A 23-year-old man was referred to our department for chest abnormal shadow. Computed tomography (CT) of the chest revealed a well-defined 1.2 cm nodule in the S4 segment of the right middle lobe and a well-defined 1.8 cm nodule in the S10 segment of the right lower lobe. The patient was found to have a fracture in the left fifth rib due to the falling accident at playing snowboard, two months before. He was diagnosed with a benign tumor in the right middle lobe and the right lower lobe and was performed surgery. Thoracoscopy revealed a yellowish-brown tumor in the right middle lobe( S4) and a yellow-brown tumor in the right lower lobe( S10). Both lesions were diagnosed as clots by rapid intraoperative pathologic diagnosis. Histopathological diagnosis was an intrapulmonary hematoma.

Flail Chest-I
Flail chest is a severe and potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the fracture of three or more adjacent ribs in multiple places. It is most commonly caused by direct impacts and trauma, such as motor vehicle accidents or injuries from a steering wheel impact. It can also occur due to falls in elderly individuals with osteoporosis, or assaults involving sharp objects.
Pathophysiology
The pathophysiology of flail chest is complex, involving fractures of...
