  • Title: Bronchogenic carcinoma: a rare cause of nontraumatic pneumopericardium.
    Author: Rongé R, Roels P, De Meirleir K, Schandevyl W, Dewilde P, Block P.
    Journal: Acta Cardiol; 1983; 38(6):565-9. PubMed ID: 6608851.
    Abstract:
    The history of a 67-year-old woman presenting a sudden nontraumatic pneumopericardium is reported. Investigation revealed that this patient had developed a bronchopericardial fistula secondary to a bronchogenic carcinoma. The clinical diagnosis was confirmed at autopsy. Although it is fairly evident that in this case the pneumopericardium could be related to the bronchogenic carcinoma, only a few reports of such an association have been published in the literature.
