| Popis: | A 60-year-old woman was referred for 64-slice multidetector computed tomography because of the incidental findings of abnormality on a chest radiograph. Her computed tomography showed an absent right lung and a rudimentary main bronchus ending in a blind pouch; this established the diagnosis of pulmonary aplasia. We report here on a rare case of incidentally found right pulmonary aplasia, and we include a brief review of the relevant literature. |
