A case of pulmonary varices in a 73-year-old female is presented. Routine chest X-ray revealed a mass in the right hilar region. CR tomogram showed a round, clearly defined mass at the right hilum. Computed tomography demonstrated marked enlargement of the proximal portion of the pulmonary vein at the entrance of the left atrium, which was suspected to be pulmonary varices. The diagnosis was confirmed by pulmonary angiography. During the arterial phase no abnormal findings were seen, but during the venous phase the veins of the right upper and middle lobes were found to be draining into the dilated pulmonary vein and then into the left atrium. Thus, the diagnosis of pulmonary varices was established. CT and angiography are the most useful methods for definitive diagnosis of pulmonary varices.
