It is a rare entity. In general, the defect in the chest wall is accompanied by increased intrathoracic pressures in the formation mechanism. Usually the cause is blunt-penetrating thoracic trauma, violent cough or previous thoracic surgery with insufficient closure of the chest wall. We report a case with giant pulmonary herniation that developed four years after biopsy in a patient diagnosed with usual interstitial pneumonia by VATS.
