Abstract EN

Idiopathic pulmonary artery aneurysm is a rare condition.

This type of aneurysm can be presented with noncardiac symptoms or even asymptomatic.

We report a 73-year-old man with a gigantic idiopathic pulmonary artery aneurysm which was referred to our unit for his kidney problems.

During his workup we incidentally found the aneurysm by an abnormal chest-X ray and auscultation.

Our further evaluations revealed a 9.8 cm aneurysm in transthoracic echocardiography.
