Secondary Spontaneous Pneumothorax (SSP) can rarely complicate Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD). Infections are common triggers for exacerbations of COPD.

We present a rare case of a 75 year old female, who was a known case of COPD and developed right middle lobe pneumonia with partial collapse of the middle lobe along with a secondary spontaneous pneumothorax.
