Summary
A 37-yr-old male presented with a 2-week history of intermittent episodes of mild haemoptysis. Computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging revealed a varix of the inferior pulmonary vein. The diagnosis was confirmed using magnetic resonance angiography and conventional angiography. This condition is relatively rare, and few cases have previously been demonstrated by means of magnetic resonance imaging and angiography.
