Endoscopic sympathectomy is a new trend for the treatment of hyperhidrosis palmaris. It is a simple and effective technique; however, it carries some recognized risks such as Horner's syndrome and pneumohemothorax. We recently encountered a case complicated by the development of a chylothorax. The patient was a 23-year-old healthy women with profuse palmar sweating. She developed an intractable dry cough after a transthoracic endoscopic sympathectomy. A chest x-ray revealed a left pleural effusion. A chylous effusion was found after thoracentesis and fluid analysis. The pleural effusion resolved after chest tube drainage and diet control. Although endoscopic sympathectomy is a simple and quick procedure, unusual complications, such as chylothorax, may occur. Appropriate early recognition and treatment can prevent a disastrous result.

A 71-year-old man presented with hemothorax with cough, sputa and worsening dyspnea. On chest X-ray and computed tomography(CT), a huge tumor in the right upper lobe with hematoma and small amount of gas suggesting hemopneumothorax was revealed. No apparent lymphadenopathy nor intrapulmonary metastases were observed. The tumor showed a little enhancement on the contrastenhanced CT. Then the resction of the tumor was performed, and the pathological evaluation revealed a carcionosarcoma (adenocarcinoma+osteosarcoma) pT3N0 (stage II B) G4 pl2. Sarcomatoid carcinoma such as carcinosarcoma should be considered as a possible cause of hemothorax in making a diagnosis of hemorrhagic hypovascular huge lung tumor.

A 50-year-old previously healthy male presented with fever and cough for seven days, positive for COVID-19, and was admitted to Hazm Meberik General Hospital and treated as a case of severe COVID-19 pneumonia. After improvement, he was transferred to a quarantine facility, and he later developed bilateral hemopneumothorax requiring bilateral chest tubes. High-resolution CT showed bilateral emphysematous bullous disease. Tuberculosis workup was negative, and alpha 1 anti-trypsin levels were normal. Repeated Chest X-ray showed improvement and chest tubes were removed. The patient was discharged with follow-up with the thoracic surgery clinic.
