Abstract:
A 56-year-old woman was referred to our hospital because of an abnormal finding in the right pulmonary hilum on chest X-ray. Enhanced chest computed tomography showed hyperplastic bronchial arteries dilating and winding around the trachea and bronchi. A racemose hemangioma of the bronchial artery with multiple bronchial artery aneurysms (diameter <20mm) was seen displacing the trachea and both main bronchi. Bronchoscopy showed submucosal tumor-like lesions at the distal trachea and in both main bronchi, and a dusky-red elevated pulsatile lesion at the orifice of the left B3b＋c. We performed coil embolization of the bronchial artery aneurysm to prevent abrupt rupture of the bronchial aneurysm.
