Congenital unilateral pulmonary artery agenesis and aspergilloma.

Isolated unilateral pulmonary artery agenesis is a rare condition, which in most patients is asymptomatic. Occasionally patients present with symptoms that are nonspecific and not necessarily attributable to disease of the respiratory system. In these individuals the clue to the diagnosis is found in a plain chest roentgenogram, often revealing a hyperlucent contracted hemithorax.
