Abstract

A 15-year-old girl presented with left-sided chest pain. A chest radiograph demonstrated a tubular structure in the left hemithorax. A helical CT angiogram suggested the diagnosis of an arteriovenous malformation, but selective pulmonary arteriography diagnosed the presence of a varix and excluded a pulmonary arteriovenous malformation.
