“…Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformations are rare entities with an estimated rate of 3-5 cases per 100,000 inhabitants [2]. They are defined by direct communication between the pulmonary arterial and venous systems, creating a right-left shunt [3].…”

“…The clinical manifestations are dominated by exertional dyspnea, which is not always correlated with the normalities, if visible they take the form of a round or oval image of uniform density with well defined edges. The helical multislice chest CT is the gold standard and allows visualization of the anevrysmal sac and associated efferent vessels [2]. The sensitivity of the scanner is higher than the conventional pulmonary angiography (98% vs. 60%) [10].…”

Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations are scarce and hard to diagnose. We report a case of a very late discovery at an advanced age. Recent vascular imaging techniques (Three-dimensional Computed Tomographic Angiography) have largely contributed to their diagnosis. The patient is treated with arterial embolization which is effective and carries a low complication rate in skilled hands. This case illustrates the clinical circumstances of diagnosis, the diagnostic algorithm, and the differential diagnosis to be discussed in this radio-clinical presentation, as well as the peculiarity of thinking about this malformation despite the advanced age.
