Abstract:
We present a case of a benign pulmonary artery mass leading to pulmonary artery stenosis. A 39-year-old male patient had a dyspnea on exertion and chest discomfort four months before admission. Computerized tomographic scan revealed a mass extending 2.1 cm in the right pulmonary artery resulting in pulmonary artery stenosis. He underwent a mass resection and pulmonary artery reconstruction under cardiopulmonary bypass. His symptoms improved postoperatively. Histology revealed it was a reactive lymph node. It is recommended that surgical resection should be the only alternative for complete relief of the symptoms in such patients.
