Pulmonary artery aneurysm (PAA) is a rare disease. Its causes can be varied and, in some patients, unidentified. Diagnosis is problematic because most patients are completely asymptomatic or present with nonspecific symptoms. Given the rarity of PAA, definitive treatment is still under research. We present the case of a healthy 47-year-old man who had some discomfort during an exercise routine and, because of his family cardiac history, presented to our office. On further evaluation, a giant idiopathic PAA was detected and successfully treated.
肺动脉瘤(PAA)是一种罕见疾病。其病因多种多样,在一些患者中病因不明。由于大多数患者完全无症状或仅表现出非特异性症状,诊断存在问题。鉴于PAA的罕见性,确切的治疗方法仍在研究中。我们报告一例47岁健康男性的病例,该患者在日常锻炼时感到有些不适,因其有家族心脏病史前来就诊。进一步评估后,发现了一例巨大特发性PAA并成功进行了治疗。
