History
A 34-year-old man with no significant past medical history presented after an episode of chest pain that resolved spontaneously. The patient had no prior history of shortness of breath or cough. Review of vital signs demonstrated a respiration rate of 20 breaths per minute and a blood oxygen saturation of 98% on room air. Physical examination revealed clear bilateral breath sounds. Laboratory values were unremarkable. Clinical evaluation was negative for coronary artery disease. Chest computed tomography (CT) and bronchoscopy were performed.
