Plastic bronchitis and chyloptysis are rare medical conditions characterized by expectoration of bronchial cast and production of white milky sputum rich in chyle, respectively. Plastic bronchitis is associated with congenital heart disease in children and lymphatic system disease in adults.

Spontaneous pneumothorax is a common pathology described as gas trapped in the pleural space, not caused by an external event. When a lung associated pathology is found as the cause of the spontaneous pneumothorax then a subclassification arises and the events are characterized as Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax. Secondary spontaneous pneumothorax (SSP) are most frequently caused by chronic obstructive lung disease, necrotizing lung infections, genetically associated disease like cystic fibrosis or primary lung malignancy. There are lesser-known causes of SSP and, this is one such example where we showcase an unusual presentation revealing a unique etiology.
