Abstract

Un hombre de 24 años con antecedentes de vapeo intenso desarrolló múltiples quistes pulmonares y un posterior neumotórax espontáneo bilateral, que culminó en la muerte. Las imágenes iniciales indicaron daño quístico probablemente causado por la inhalación prolongada de compuestos tóxicos presentes en los cigarrillos electrónicos, como diacetilo y acetato de vitamina E. Este caso destaca el posible vínculo entre el vapeo y las enfermedades pulmonares crónicas que pueden progresar a complicaciones graves, lo que contribuye al debate en curso sobre los riesgos asociados al vapeo y subraya la necesidad de realizar más estudios sobre sus efectos a largo plazo.
