  • Title: Spontaneous hemothorax in a patient with neurofibromatosis type 1 and undiagnosed pheochromocytoma.
    Author: Conlon NP, Redmond KC, Celi LA.
    Journal: Ann Thorac Surg; 2007 Sep; 84(3):1021-3. PubMed ID: 17720427.
    Abstract:
    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.
