Abstract

Following a case of traumatic rupture of the 3 lobes of the right lung without any parietal lesion, the authors found three similar cases in the literature. However, uni or bilobar rupture was more frequently described. The pathological mechanisms are considered. The treatment of these lesions, in contrast to pulmonary laceration due to fractured ribs, most often requires limited parenchymal excision.
