A 34-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of continuous shortness of breath and abnormal chest shadows. Bronchiectasis had been suspected because of abnormal chest shadows during childhood. However, a chest CT scan obtained on admission did not show any bronchiectatic changes, but marked dilated blood vessels and emphysematous changes in the bilateral lower lobes were seen. A pulmonary angiogram showed normal pulmonary arteries in the arterial phase and diffuse dilated veins in the venous phase. Although he has been suffering also from liver cirrhosis type B with portal hypertension, we could not find any association between the liver cirrhosis and the lung lesions. This is a very rare case in which there is a possibility of congenital or idiopathic dilatation of the pulmonary veins.
