In the chest radiograph was found as an accidental finding, a properly delimited vascular image in the left upper mediastino, for this reason there were later realized diverse complementary examinations gradually more aggressive, that included a pulmonary angiography which revealed the presence of an aneurysmatic dilatation in the common and left pulmonary arteries. With these findings, the patient was undergoing a surgical operation, in which was realized a partial resection and folder to the common and left pulmonary arteries to reduce diameter to 2-3 centimetres, with a post-operative period without complications and staying without symptoms after the surgery.
