“…1 However, delayed presentation of traumatic aneurysm of the pulmonary arteries 30 years after gunshot wound has been also described. 2 In our case, however, the delay from injury to clinical manifestation was 60 years. Interestingly, this potentially lethal entity was also silent clinically.…”

“…It is not uncommon for PAPAs to escape discovery for several months to years, and until this report the longest latency reported was 30 years (3,7,8). Symptoms can vary from a completely asymptomatic patient to a patient presenting with dyspnea, cough, chest pain, and hypoxia with the most consistent presenting symptom being hemoptysis (3,7).…”

Post traumatic pulmonary pseudoaneurysm requiring pneumonectomy: a case report

A 57-year-old male presented with progressive exertional dyspnea, cough, and hemoptysis. He underwent a chest computed tomography (CT) that demonstrated a 27 cm × 20 cm right chest mass that was causing a local mass effect. Pertinent history revealed that the patient had suffered a severe chest trauma from a MVA in 1981. The patient underwent workup including: needle localized biopsy, bronchoscopy and endoscopic biopsy. There was considerable concern for a malignant process and a subsequent right pneumonectomy with en bloc resection of the chest wall and diaphragm was performed. The final pathology concluded the mass to be a large pseudoaneurysm. Pseudoaneurysms after traumas are extremely rare, especially blunt trauma, and should be considered once other etiologies have been excluded.

“…2,3 In our patient, surgical repair via a thoracotomy was not feasible due to difficulty in accessing the PAP and the rupture risk, so the patient was managed conservatively. Fortunately, the PAP resolved, and no complications were observed.…”

An unusual case of blunt traumatic pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm detected within a day 在一天之內檢測到的一個罕見的鈍性外傷性肺動脈假性瘤 SR Yeom 廉釋蘭, MK Min 閔門基, SH Lee 李成和, SW Park 朴星昱 Chest trauma can injure intrathoracic vessels, usually affecting the aorta and arch branches; however, a traumatic pulmonary artery pseudoaneurysm (PAP) has been reported, albeit relatively rarely. Blunt chest trauma as an aetiology for a PAP is even more rare than penetrating chest trauma. There is usually a time delay from several days to several months between injury and detection of a PAP. Traditionally, operative management has been recommended because of the risk of PAP rupture. Here, we describe an unusual case of a PAP following blunt trauma that was detected early on computed tomography, 8 hours after injury, and the PAP resolved with conservative management.
