A Rare Type of Pneumothorax Recurrence After Surgery, Caused by a Lung Laceration Next to the Adhesion.

Recurrence of primary spontaneous pneumothorax after surgical treatment was often caused by overlooking bullae in surgical treatments, bullae regrowth, or bullae neogenesis. Herein, we present a very rare type of recurrence after surgical treatment, which was caused by lung laceration next to the adhesion created after the surgery. The patient was a 22-year-old volleyball player, and we presumed that sudden chest wall compression that occurred during volleyball displaced the lung next to the adhesion inwardly and caused the lung laceration.
