A 65-year-old man, diagnosed with bronchus cancer metastasized to the brain and lymph nodes, was seen at the emergency department. He complained of 'an airy feeling' within the left side of his thorax. Imaging revealed a pneumopericardium, probably caused by a fistula between the primary tumour and the pericardium.
