Abstract

Racemose hemangioma of the bronchial artery and bronchial artery aneurysm are rare vascular abnormalities associated with chronic inflammation-induced neovascularization. Here, we present a 49-year-old man with concurrent racemose hemangioma of the bronchial artery and intrapulmonary arteriovenous malformation in the left lower lobe. He was referred to our hospital for persistent symptoms of left chest pain. Examination revealed the presence of a racemose hemangioma of the bronchial artery coexisting with a mediastinal bronchial artery aneurysm. Subsequently, a bronchial artery aneurysm resection was performed and, in the follow-ups, the hemangioma and arteriovenous malformation were monitored. Such combined occurrences are exceedingly rare, with consequent paucity of available literature. Given the absence of established treatment modalities for these conditions, further accumulation of clinical cases is imperative.
