Pneumothorax induced by Pneumocystis jirovecii( P. jirovecii) pneumonia is often refractory to treatment. A man in his 30's who had malignant lymphoma and received chemotherapy developed P. jirovecii pneumonia. A month after treatment for pneumonia, he developed a secondary pneumothorax. Since drainage was not effective, he underwent right lower lobectomy and bulla resection. Air leakage stopped after surgery but recurred on postoperative day 5. Chest computed tomography showed a new bulla on his right lung. On postoperative day 15, we inserted an endobronchial Watanabe spigot( EWS),and air leakage completely stopped. |
