ABSTRACT
Unilateral pulmonary artery agenesis is a rare congenital malformation usually associated with other cardiovascular anomaly such as Tetralogy of Fallot. Isolated pulmonary artery agenesis is very rare, and usually asymptomatic. It is usually highly suspected by routine chest X-ray, and associated symptoms are hemoptysis, blood tinged sputum, repeated pulmonary infection, and dyspnea on exertion. We have recently experienced the right pulmonary artery agenesis in 27 year-old male patient, complaining of minimal hemoptysis and sustained blood tinged sputum. He was successfully treated by right pneumonectomy, so we report this case with the review of associated literature.
