The notion that smoking cannabis may damage the respiratory tract has been introduced in recent years but there is still a paucity of studies on this subject. The aim of this study was to investigate the relationship between cannabis smoking, pneumothorax and bullous lung disease in a OBJECTIVE
To compare imaging findings on thoracic computed tomography (CT) examination in patients with primary spontaneous pneumothorax (SP), depending on their tobacco and/or cannabis consumption.
METHODS
A total of 83 patients who had thoracic CT for primary SP were prospectively included. There
Three patients are reported who suffered spontaneous pneumothorax, each of whom also had a history of daily marijuana and tobacco use. The patients ranged in age from 24 to 37 years, had smoked marijuana on a daily basis for 10 to 14 years, and had 11 to 50 pack-year tobacco-smoking histories.
OBJECTIVE
Previous smaller case series suggested that cannabis smoking may cause spontaneous pneumothorax, but this finding remains controversial. We investigated the possible association between smoking tobacco and cannabis and the risk of having a primary spontaneous pneumothorax in a large,
OBJECTIVE
Birt-Hogg-Dubé syndrome (BHD) is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited genodermatosis that predisposes to cystic lung disease, leading to spontaneous pneumothoraces. This retrospective analysis of five BHD cases (two men, three women) compared lung histology and computed tomography (CT)
Vanishing lung syndrome (VLS) is also referred to as idiopathic giant bullous emphysema and is a rare manifestation of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD). Middle-aged tobacco smokers, younger marijuana users, and those with alpha-1-antitrypsin deficiency may especially be affected. The
Marijuana use has been increasing across the United States due to its legalization as both a medicinal and recreational product. A small number of case reports have described a pathological entity called vanishing lung syndrome (VLS), which is a rare bullous lung disease usually caused by tobacco

BACKGROUND
Spontaneous pneumothorax is usually a benign condition that most often affects young patients. Its most common complication is recurrence. This complication appears to be increased by some factors.
OBJECTIVE

Several treatment strategies are available for primary spontaneous pneumothorax (PSP). Surgical procedures are also performed in patients with PSP without an absolute indication for surgery. This study was performed to investigate the best treatment strategy for PSP by comparison of BACKGROUND
Spontaneous pneumothorax (SP) is defined by the presence of air in the pleural space without history of trauma. It is classified as secondary if coexisting with underlying pulmonary disease. Its an entity with considerable incidence and treatment particularities which give reason for a
Thoracic endometriosis is a rare entity characterized by presence of endometrial tissue in pleura, lung parenchyma or airways. Most frequent manifestations are catamenial pneumothorax, hemothorax, hemoptysis and pulmonary nodules. We report here a rare case of a woman with thoracic endometriosis who
The incidence of spontaneous pneumothorax has increased during the last fifty years, and recent studies indicate that tobacco smoking increases the incidence approximately tenfold among women and twentyfold among men. Total direct and indirect costs for the community due to smoking-induced
