| Popis: | SummaryWe report a nonsmoker adult with histologically proven pulmonary Langerhans cell histiocytosis (PLCH) with bronchial hyperresponsiveness (BHR) presenting with spontaneous pneumothorax. An 18-year-old, nonsmoker student had shortness of breath for a decade. PFTs and lung volume study (obtained one month post-operation) showed a mild obstructive airway with bronchodilator response and a decreased DLco with a positive methacholine challenge test (PC20 |
