Asymptomatic Large Pulmonary Arteriovenous Malformation Masquerading as a Metastatic Deposit in a Patient with Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma

Adult cases of congenital arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the mediastinum are extremely rare, and because of their varied clinical presentations, they pose a diagnostic challenge. There is no reported association of pulmonary AVM and papillary thyroid carcinoma. We describe a 38-year-old female...

description Adult cases of congenital arteriovenous malformation (AVM) of the mediastinum are extremely rare, and because of their varied clinical presentations, they pose a diagnostic challenge. There is no reported association of pulmonary AVM and papillary thyroid carcinoma. We describe a 38-year-old female with a large right lung AVM, multinodular goiter, and high serum thyroglobulin (Tg) with papillary thyroid carcinoma. The lung mass was believed to represent a pulmonary metastatic deposit due to high Tg value. Whole body I-131 scan and FDG PETMR imaging were performed as part of the workup.
