  • Title: Recurrent hydropneumothorax as a presenting feature of malignant mesothelioma.
    Author: Guha K, Jones D, Hull JH, Ho TB.
    Journal: Eur J Intern Med; 2008 Jan; 19(1):63-4. PubMed ID: 18206605.
    Abstract:
    A 73-year-old former smoker with previous occupational exposure to asbestos presented with a pneumothorax that was initially managed by simple aspiration. Despite this, it re-accumulated and a bronchopleural fistula was suspected. A video-assisted thoracoscopic procedure was performed and revealed an abnormally thickened pleura that turned out to be a mesothelioma. All persistent pneumothoraces should be investigated.
