Unusual case of unilateral whiteout on chest radiograph with evidence of previous pulmonary tuberculosis exposure
Unusual case of unilateral whiteout on chest radiograph with evidence of previous pulmonary tuberculosis exposure
Pulmonary hypoplasia is a rare congenital anomaly owing to the under development of lung tissue and usually present in childhood. We present an asymptomatic lady in her second decade with a unilateral hemithorax abnormality on her chest radiograph likely due to pulmonary hypoplasia. She also had evidence of previous pulmonary tuberculosis exposure with intra-pulmonary cavity and demonstrating a mass within that cavity consistent with aspergilloma. This case illustrates a rare congenital condition presenting in adulthood with evidence of chronic pulmonary infections.

Abstract
Pulmonary hypoplasia is a rare congenital anomaly owing to the under development of lung tissue and usually present in childhood. We present an asymptomatic lady in her second decade with a unilateral hemithorax abnormality on her chest radiograph likely due to pulmonary hypoplasia. She also had evidence of previous pulmonary tuberculosis exposure with intra-pulmonary cavity and demonstrating a mass within that cavity consistent with aspergilloma. This case illustrates a rare congenital condition presenting in adulthood with evidence of chronic pulmonary infections.
