Abstract

A lung hernia refers to part of a lung pushing through a tear, or bulging through a weak spot, in the chest wall, neck passageway or diaphragm. Lung hernia is a distinctly rare event, regardless of its location and cause. Most lung hernias are acquired traumatic thoracic hernias, most commonly caused by vigorous coughing with a subsequent rib fracture. We report a rare case of lung hernia through the left anterior chest wall in a middle-aged male.
