Abstract

Case report on a 53-year old male patient; after transthoracic resection of the oesophagus a unilateral percutaneous biopsy of a newly developed round focus of the lung led to a bilateral pneumothorax (as well as a pneumomediastinum and a pneumoperitoneum). After transthoracic surgery the described alterations have also to be taken into account as possible complications of a unilateral percutaneous lung-biopsy.
