Abstract |
Spontaneous lung herniation is a rare finding, most often the result of forceful coughing. Risk factors include obesity, male gender, tobacco use, and steroid use. Surgical repair is recommended due to increasing size of herniation and pain control. Life style modification, such as smoking cessation, is recommended in this patient population.
