Pulmonary Varix

Abstract

Pulmonary varix is a rare lesion consisting of aneurysmal dilatation of a pulmonary vein. Its radiologic appearance may be indistinguishable from a neoplasm, granuloma, or pulmonary arteriovenous fistula. Pulmonary angiography with follow-up through the venous phase is the only method of diagnosis. Reported herein is an illustrative case.
