LUCITE EXTRAPERIOSTEAL PLOMBAGE

ROENTGENOLOGIC REViEW OF LATE COMPLICATIONS

CHARLES E. SEIBERT M.D.1 and JOSEPH TABRISKY M.D.1

1 From the Department of Radiology, National Jewish Hospital, Denver, Colorado

1. The radiologist still sees a number of lucite plombage cases and can roentgenographically diagnose the late complications. Late complications are usually related to the development of tuberculous or nontuberculous infection within the plombage space.

2. The infection of the plombage region is characterized by: (a) development of fluid within the plombage demonstrated by either change in position of the lucite balls or sagging of the inferior aspect of the surgical space; (b) the erosion and migration of the balls from the plombage region; and (c) formation of bronchopleural or extrapleural fistulae.
