Idiopathic dilatation of the pulmonary artery (IDPA) is a rare anomaly presenting with enlargement of the pulmonary artery in the absence of an identifiable cause. The natural history of this silent but potentially life-threatening disease can be unpredictable. We report a case of IDPA in an 80-year-old female with a massively dilated pulmonary artery.
特发性肺动脉扩张（IDPA）是一种罕见的异常情况，表现为肺动脉扩大且无明确可识别的病因。这种隐匿但可能危及生命的疾病的自然病程可能不可预测。我们报告一例80岁女性特发性肺动脉扩张病例，其肺动脉呈巨大扩张。
