| Popis: | Lung herniation is a rare condition and can be classified by both anatomical site and etiology. A 70-year-old man was referred with dyspnea, productive cough, and right-sided chest pain. Radiological investigation showed healed rib fractures and a lung herniation between ribs 8 and 9. Two years after surgical repair the patient is free of complaints. Treatment can be conservative or surgical, but as experience is limited no long-term results have been reported. |
