A pulmonary vein varix is a localized dilatation of a pulmonary vein that usually is asymptomatic, presenting as a mass on a chest roentgenogram. Pulmonary angiography has been the mainstay of diagnosis. This case is the first in which transesophageal echocardiography was used to diagnose pulmonary vein varix.
肺静脉瘤样扩张是肺静脉的局限性扩张，通常无症状，在胸部X线片上表现为肿块。肺血管造影一直是诊断的主要方法。该病例是首例使用经食管超声心动图诊断肺静脉瘤样扩张的病例。
