Abstract
|
|
|
|
Pneumomediastinum is a rare, but well recognized complication of bleomycin-induced lung toxicity. Spontaneous pneumomediastinum has to be considered as one of the causes when the dyspnea becomes aggravated in patients with bleomycin induced lung toxicity. We describe here two patients who suffered with germ cell tumor and they developed spontaneous pneumomediastinum without pneumothorax, and this was caused by bleomycin-induced lung toxicity.
