An Asymptomatic Saccular Aneurysm of Pulmonary Artery: A Rare Case of Solitary Pulmonary Nodule

Abstract

Pulmonary artery aneurysm, especially the peripheral type, is a rare disease. We present an asymptomatic adult case whom had been underwent a series of correctional cardiovascular operations for Fallot tetralogy in her childhood period. A thirty year old female patient got a diagnosis of solitary pulmonary nodule (Figure 1). Contrast enhanced computed tomography (CT) and CT angiography revealed the aneurysm of posterior segment (A2 segment) of the right upper lobe artery (Figure 2 and 3). Prior to decision of diagnostic interventions, clinicians should be aware of an aneurysm of pulmonary artery can be a cause of peripheral solitary pulmonary nodules.
