    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Imaging
    • Thoracic Radiology
    • Vascular Malformations

    Background:

    • Pulmonary masses require accurate diagnosis to guide patient management.
    • Congenital pulmonary varix is a rare vascular anomaly of the lung.

    Observation:

    • A 31-year-old asymptomatic male presented with a pulmonary mass on radiography.
    • Diagnostic imaging included fluoroscopy, tomography, and pulmonary angiography.

    Findings:

    • Congenital pulmonary varix was diagnosed based on characteristic imaging findings.
    • This condition is a rare vascular malformation in the lung.

    Implications:

    • Accurate diagnosis of congenital pulmonary varix is crucial.
    • Avoids unnecessary invasive procedures like thoracotomy or mediastinoscopy.
