    Journal: J Coll Physicians Surg Pak; 2011 Jul; 21(7):437-8. PubMed ID: 21777537.
    Abstract:
    Haemoptysis has a long list of causes, but pulmonary varices are amongst the rare causes. Pulmonary varices are rare abnormalities of pulmonary veins that may exist either as an isolated malformation or in association with pulmonary venous hypertension. This case report describes pulmonary varices as a cause of hemoptysis in an adolescent boy, which was diagnosed on multislice CT and confirmed on angiography.
