  • Title: [A complication of oleothorax--after 38 years].
    Author: Lund-Olesen LH, Edal AL.
    Journal: Ugeskr Laeger; 1994 Dec 05; 156(49):7378-9. PubMed ID: 7801403.
    Abstract:
    We present a case-history of a 50 year-old woman who 38 years earlier had been operated for pulmonary tuberculosis by plugging of the pleural cavity with oil (oleothorax). She developed a tumour under the scapula, which it turned out was due to migration of the oil plug to the subscapular area, an unusual complication to oleothorax. Other complications are described.
