The first two were observed on the medical wards within the last two years. The third was discovered as the result of a survey of cases of pneumothorax and of hemothorax observed at City Hospital during the years 1930-1940, excluding those cases in which active tuberculosis was known to be present.CASE REPORTSCase 1.
