Ehlers-Danlos syndrome(EDS)is a heritable connective tissue disorder characterized by joint hypermobility, skin hyperextensibility, and tissue fragility. We report here a case of classical EDS with pulmonary lesions in a woman in her 40s. Computed tomography showed left-sided pneumothorax and enlarged air spaces in bilateral lower lobes. Pneumothorax was refractory and air space enlargement developed within a year in a young adult, suggesting tissue fragility. Whole body examination revealed mild skin hyperextensibility and mild joint hypermobility, and genetic diagnosis revealed gene mutation of COL5A2 which codes type 5 collagen. The diagnosis of classical EDS was confirmed.
