Abstract:
The pulmonary artery aneurysm is a rare clinical entity that presents a low incidence and prevalence, of difficult diagnosis to be presented with poorly specific symptoms or also without symptoms, being detected in radiological studies as a widening or mediastinal mass. It can be uni or bilateral and presenting itself isolated or in the context of other sicknesses. The diagnosis of certainty is based in the realization of Echo-Doppler and other studies as a tomography or a magnetic resonance, the therapeutic option being so difficult, and according to cases, by an expectant or aggressive attitude.
