ABSTRACT
Pneumothorax during pregnancy is a rare and potentially serious complication for both mother and fetus. Due to an increased need for oxygen during pregnancy and delivery, pneumothorax affects fetal oxygen supply, since it causes hypoxia in the mother. The authors describe a case of pneumothorax during pregnancy and conduct a literature review.

O carcinoma de células fusiformes, também conhecido como carcinossarcoma, representa entre 0,5% e 1,5% das neoplasias malignas do esôfago e é caracterizado por volumosa lesão lobulada, causando pequena obstrução comparada ao seu volume. Este estudo apresenta um caso desta rara neoplasia em terço médio esofágico, que foi conduzida com tratamento cirúrgico e cujo diagnóstico foi confirmado por exame imunohistoquímico.
Spindle cell carcinoma, also known as carcinosarcoma, accounts for 0.5% to 1.5% of esophageal malignancies, and is characterized by a voluminous lobulated lesion leading to low-degree obstruction relative to its volume. We report a case of this rare condition in the middle esophagus, with the diagnosis confirmed through immunohistochemistry, and which was treated with surgery.
