A case of unusually persistent traumatic intrapulmonary hematoma
Intrapulmonary hematomas are collections of blood within alveolar and interstitial spaces. They occur mainly following thoracic trauma. Typically, intrapulmonary hematomas without bleeding or infection spontaneously disappear after several weeks to 6 months. In the current case, the patient presente...

description | Intrapulmonary hematomas are collections of blood within alveolar and interstitial spaces. They occur mainly following thoracic trauma. Typically, intrapulmonary hematomas without bleeding or infection spontaneously disappear after several weeks to 6 months. In the current case, the patient presented with an intrapulmonary nodule 17 months after a chest injury. The size of the nodule had not changed at 4 months after the first visit. Consequently, the patient was diagnosed with an intrapulmonary hematoma by surgical resection. To our knowledge, there are no previous studies that described the cause of the persistent intrapulmonary hematoma. This study reports the case of a patient who underwent surgical resection of a persistent traumatic intrapulmonary hematoma. |
