Abstract:
We report the first case of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia combined with multiple pulmonary-systemic fistulae. In this case, a 39-year-old woman presented with long standing chest pain, dyspnea and hemoptysis. Finally she was diagnosed as systemic- pulmonary fistula, a rare form of hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia.
