Abstract
|
|
|
|
The cause of primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP) is obvious. Recently, the FLCN mutation was suggested to be a causal factor in PSP. A 47-year-old Korean male patient with chief complaint of repetitive PSP had numerous emphysematous bullae and multiple large cysts based upon high resolution computer tomography. Here we report a case of PSP with an FLCN c.468_470delTTC mutation.
