Abstract

Pulmonary arteriovenous fistula can be either congenital or acquired. The vast majority are congenital, and about 60% have been associated with hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia [Rendu-Osler-Weber disease . Secondary or acquired pulmonary arteriovenous fistula occurs with trauma, schistosomiasis, long-standing hepatic cirrhosis, metastatic carcinoma, and actinomycosis. Pulmonary hemorrhage secondary to acquired pulmonary arteriovenous fistula is a rare event associated with mortality. We have experienced 64 year-old female patient with the hemoptysis secondary to acquired pulmonary arteriovenous fistula due to the infection of pulmonary parasite. The chest PA and CT scan was showed calcified nodule to the distal portion of lateral segmental bronchus of RML. The bronchial angiogram was demonstrated slightly hypertrophied bronchial artery supplying RML bronchus and the presence of hypervascularization around the calcified nodule, rapid A-V shunting is noted by fluoroscopy. The patient was successfully treated by the right middle lobectomy.
