Abstract

Hemothorax have too many causes to enumerate, however, it appears rape to be caused by pulmonary choriadenoma. This paper describes a case of pulmonary chorioadenoma presented with hemothorax. A 42-year-old female, 80 days after artificial abortion, entered the hospital as an emergency case with complaints of chest pain, dyspnea and nausea. A plain chest rentgenogram showed left pleural effusion, and the specimen of needle evacuation was bloody. For controlling hemothorax, the patient underwent thoracotomy, and was found to have a chorioadenoma which was bleeding. A partial resection of the left lung was performed. This might have a relation with artificial abortion in that the transmitted villi appeared to be causative.
