Pneumotoraks spontan
Secara epidemiologi, pneumothorax spontan cukup sering terjadi. Data dari Amerika
Serikat menunjukkan ada sekitar 20.000 pasien per tahun menderita pneumotoraks
spontan. Secara umum, pneumotoraks spontan dikelompokkan menjadi dua bentuk, yakni
primer dan sekunder. Pneumotoraks spontan primer terjadi pada paru yang sebelumnya
tidak memiliki gangguan klinis, sedangkan pneumotoraks spontan sekunder adalah
pneumotoraks spontan yang diderita oleh penderita yang sudah memiliki gangguan paru,
misalnya pada penderita Penyakit Paru Obstruktif Kronis.
Pneumotoraks spontan terjadi karena lemahnya dinding alveolus dan pleura viseral,
sementara pada suatu saat terjadi peninggian tekanan di jalan napas oleh suatu sebab
sehingga alveoulus dan pleura yang menutupinya pecah. Hal ini dapat terjadi pada penderita
infeksi paru dengan batuk keras, pengguna kortikosteroid kronik, perokok, dan penyakit
menahun.
Pneumothoraks spontan adalah keadaan terdapatnya udara atau gas dalam rongga pleura yang
dapat menyebabkan paru kolaps baik total maupun sebagian tanpa didahului adanya trauma
sebelumnya. Pneumothoraks spontan dibagi
menjadi primer dan sekunder berdasarkan adanya penyakit paru yang mendasari,
pneumothoraks spontan primer jika

tidak terdapat latar belakang penyakit paru yang mendasari dan disebut pneumothoraks
spontan sekunder bila terdapat latar belakang penyakit paru yang mendasari.
Apa yang dapatmenyebabkan Spontaneous Pneumothorax?
Terdapat beberapa faktor yang mempengaruhi timbulnya pneumothoraks
spontan, diantaranya : usia, jenis kelamin, pneumonia, sarkoidosis, penyakit
membran hialin pada neonatus, abses paru, tumor paru, asma, kistik fibrosis,
benda asing, dan adanya bleb atau bulla paru.
Gejala klinis yang timbul dapat bervariasi, mulai dari yang paling ringan

sampai yang paling berat, tergantung dari masing-masing individu. Penderita
mengeluh sesak nafas, nyeri dada, batuk non produktif, bahkan sampai batuk
darah. Oleh karena itu diperlukan terapi yang bervariasi, mulai dari observasi
sampai tindakan bedah

RESULTS

Eleven patients (12% of all patients with SP in the study) were found to have a distinctive
pattern of pleural fibrosis with islands of fibroblastic foci within a myxoid stroma at the
pleural-parenchymal interface or leading edge. Often, these lesions exhibited a wedge-shaped
configuration, with the broad base at the pleural surface and the apex toward the lung
parenchyma. In one patient (9%), serial lung biopsies from separate episodes of
pneumothorax were available for review (biopsies 2 and 8 in Table 1). The clinical and

radiologic findings of our patients are described in Table 1. Almost all were male. Ten of the
patients (91%) were younger than 25 years old (range, 16–24); one (9%) was 53. The average
age in the larger, 92patient group was 54, and the average in the PAFL subset was 20. In
comparison to the main study group, this age difference is statistically significant (P , .05).
The 53-yearold patient was a nonsmoker. Of the others, 4 (36%) were nonsmokers, 5 (45%)
were smokers, and the smoking status was unknown for 1 patient (9%). Three (27%) had a
history of asthma; 3 (27%) did not. The asthma history of the others (5 of 11; 45%) was
unknown. In all patients (100%), the upper lobes or apex was involved by the pneumothorax.
One (9%) also had lower lobe involvement. On gross examination, 4 of the resected lung
specimens (36%) had recognizable blebs or bullae. The largest bulla was in a 16-year-old,
nonsmoking patient and measured 9 cm at greatest dimension. Other bullae/blebs measured
up to 2 cm in greatest dimension. No masses were identified. Histopathologic review revealed
a distinctive lesion with a zonal pattern characterized by dense, collagenous fibrosis at
the pleural-subpleural surface and younger, more-active, fibroblastic-like foci at the pleuralparenchymal interface (Figure 1, A through C). The fibroblastic-like foci are key to
recognition of the entity. The fibroblastic foci were scattered along the leading edge (Figure
1, D). Less fibrotic, subpleural lesions with a ‘‘stuck-on’’ appearance could be
identified (Figure 2, A). The lesions were multifocal and extended varying lengths along the
pleural surface, separated by intervening normal pleura (Figure 1, A). As indicated above, the
lesions often assumed a triangular or pyramidal configuration that was quite striking on low
power. They sometimes extended down pleural septa but did not seem to disproportionately

involve the septa. The amount of subpleural surface involved varied by patient, and
the lesions ranged in size up to one 310 field, along the inner pleural surface. The zonal
pattern of dense, peripheral fibrosis with more immature, reactive changes toward the
parenchymal surface was suggestive of temporal heterogeneity.
