Abstract:
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformation (PAVM) is an abnormal communication between pulmonary arteries and pulmonary veins, and congenital form is seen more prevalently. The classic radiological appearance is a round, well-circumscribed lesion. PAVM was observed in a 22-year-old male as an endobronchial lesion, and treated by wedge resection. Reviewing the literature, we identified only one case report that describes endobronchial view of PAVM.
