There are few reports of traumatic lung cyst in Japan. The 1st case was 20-year-old man with traumatic lung cyst from motor vehicle accident. A chest radiograph taken 70 days after initial injury showed almost complete resolution of the traumatic pneumatocele. The 2nd case was 7-year-old girl with traumatic lung cyst caused by motor accident. The traumatic pneumatocele was not yet reduced in size four months after initial injury.
