Abstract
Occurrence of pneumothorax in silicosis is rare and when it occurs, pneumothorax is usually unilateral. We report here a patient with accelerated silicosis who presented with bilateral spontaneous pneumothoraces occurring simultaneously. The rarity of its clinical presentation in the form of bilateral simultaneous spontaneous pneumothorax combined with the typical clinical and radiological features of accelerated silicosis with tuberculosis make us to report this case.
