Abstrakt: Giant pulmonary cyst is a rare clinico-pathological entity. It was described as a "windy tumor" by John Floyer in 1726. Since that time, there have been numerous reports on this unique manifestation of emphysema by many authors. In this report, we report one such interesting case who was diagnosed as tension pneumothorax.
