A 20-year-old Coloured woman presented on three occasions with recurrent right-sided spontaneous pneumothorax which proved to be associated with pulmonary histiocytosis X. After corticosteroid therapy there was no recurrence of pneumothorax or radiographic evidence of progressive disease during a 6-month follow-up period.
