Unusual pulmonary lesion of vascular origin: a noninvasive diagnostic approach

South Med J. 1986 Mar;79(3):370-2. doi: 10.1097/00007611-198603000-00028.

Abstract

Despite the lack of pathologic confirmation, we believe that we are reporting an isolated pulmonary artery branch stenosis with poststenotic dilatation. The differential diagnosis of a solitary pulmonary lesion should include this unusual entity. Digital subtraction angiography offers a safe, minimally invasive way to confirm this anomaly.
