    Summary

    A rare case of pulmonary arteriovenous fistula in a 44-year-old male is presented. This condition, initially misdiagnosed as cardiac issues, led to severe portal hypertension and death.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiology
    • Pulmonology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas (PAVs) are abnormal connections between pulmonary arteries and veins.
    • PAVs can lead to significant cardiopulmonary complications if left untreated.

    Observation:

    • A 44-year-old male presented with chronic dyspnea and cyanosis, initially attributed to cardiac disease.
    • Symptoms progressed to severe portal hypertension, ultimately leading to death.

    Findings:

    • Autopsy revealed a circumscribed arteriovenous fistula in the lower lobe of the right lung.
    • The case highlights the importance of considering PAVs in patients with unexplained cardiopulmonary symptoms.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the diagnostic challenges and potential severity of pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas.
    • Understanding the pathomorphological aspects of PAVs is crucial for accurate diagnosis and management.
