El estudio de una masa hiliar pulmonar detectada en una paciente en un examen radiológico de rutina, llevó al diagnóstico de un aneurisma en la parte proximal de una rama principal de la arteria pulmonar izquierda. Estudios posteriores pusieron de manifiesto la existencia de otros dos aneurismas en ramas más periféricas, con alteraciones arteriales secundarias sugestivas de síndrome de Hughes-Stovin. Detallamos las características clínicas de nuestra paciente y los hallazagos de las exploraciones complementarias. Comentamos el diagnóstico diferencial de los aneurismas arteriales pulmonares múltiples, su posible patogenia, curso y pronóstico, así como las posibles terapéuticas.

The study of a hilar mass in the lung of an asymptomatic woman detected at a routine radiologic examination led to the diagnosis of aneurysm of the proximal portion oí a main branch of the left pulmonary artery. Further studies revealed the presence of two aneurysms in peripheral branches, with secondary arterial alterations suggestive of Hughes-Stovin's syndrome.

We discuss the clinical features of our patient and the findings at complementary examinations. We also discuss the possible pathogenesis of multiple arterial aneurysms of the lung, their course, prognosis, therapeutic modalities, and the differential diagnosis.
