The diagnosis had been made by endobronchial ultrasound, with aspiration of the lung mass in the left upper lobe at 11<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>L, with no subsequent complications. Histology was consistent with non-small cell carcinoma with EGFR mutation. The patient was awaiting chemotherapy and radiation therapy. She was admitted for general deterioration associated with urinary sepsis, with no dyspnea, chest pain, respiratory symptoms, or recent trauma. Physical examination and vital signs were normal. Labs showed leukocytosis (18,740/μL) with elevated acute phase reactants (CRP 365<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>mg/L, PCT 9.63<span class="elsevierStyleHsp" style=""></span>ng/mL) and pathological urine with nitrites and abundant bacteriuria. The chest X-ray was unchanged from the previous test. Treatment started with antibiotics and fluid therapy with good progress, but on the third day of admission, she developed subcutaneous thoracic-abdominal and cervical crepitations consistent with subcutaneous emphysema, which was confirmed on a new X-ray (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>A). A thoracic-abdominal computed tomography scan was requested, which showed severe subcutaneous emphysema from the cervical to the pelvic region, combining extensive pneumomediastinum and, to a lesser extent, pneumopericardium (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>B), as well as significant pneumoperitoneum and retropneumoperitoneum (<a class="elsevierStyleCrossRef" href="#fig0005">Fig. 1</a>C). A fistula was also seen in the posterior wall of the right main bronchus, but it was not possible to confirm that it communicated with another organ (trachea or esophagus) or only with the mediastinum. Given the underlying situation of the patient, fiberoptic bronchoscopy was not performed to confirm the presence of the fistula, although the previous endobronchial ultrasound had not shown any lesions in the right bronchus, nor was a biopsy performed in this region.
