Abstract

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations (PAVMs) are abnormal connections between the pulmonary arteries and veins. They are frequently seen as isolated anomalies, but they may also occur as multiple malformations, as in cases of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia. Although PAVMs are generally asymptomatic, hemoptysis and hypoxemia may also be present. Radiologically, PAVMs often mimic solitary or multiple pulmonary nodules. The present case report is a description of the radiological appearance of PAVMs mimicking a solitary pulmonary nodule.

Özet

Pulmoner arteriyovenöz malformasyonlar (PAVMs) pulmoner arter ve venler arasındaki anormal bağlantılardır. Sıklıkla izole anomali şeklinde görülürler ancak multiple olarak Herediter Hemorajik Telenjiektazi’ye eşlik edebilirler. Genelde asemptomatik olmakla birlikte hemoptizi ve hipoksemi kliniği ile de karşımıza çıkabilmektedir. PAVM’ler çoğu zaman radyolojik olarak soliter pulmoner nodül veya multipl nodüller ile karışabilmektedir. Bizim olgumuzda da radyolojik olarak soliter pulmoner nodül ile karışan bir radyolojik görünüm mevcuttu.
