“…So far in the literature 53 cases have been reported (Bartram and Strickland, 1971;BenMenachem et al, 1975;Davia et al, 1974;Gottesman and Weinstein, 1959;Hedinger, 1907;Hipona and Jamshidi, 1967;Moro et al, 1978;Neiman, 1934;Papamichael et al, 1972;Poller and Wholey, 1966;Romanoff et al, 1976;Twersky et al, 1976), but probably many of those cases could not be considered as true varices. True varices are localized malfonnations, most frequently found in the lower hemithorax (Davia et al, 1974;Moro et al, 1978;Romanoff et al, 1976). Generally they are isolated lesions without associated congenital cardiac, pulmonary, or other malfonnations (Romanoff et al, 1976).…”
