PA view of the chest demonstrates a tubular retrocardiac opacity suggestive of a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation.
Case Discussion
Radiograph of the chest showing a tubular retrocardiac opacity, which on CT was found to be a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation.
Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations are rare vascular anomalies of the lung. They are generally considered direct high flow, low-resistance fistulous connections between the pulmonary arteries and veins.
