Pulmonary agenesis is a rare disorder, and the right-sided one is much rarer. Most of the cases are diagnosed during early life.

Sumario:Pulmonary agenesis is a rare disorder, and the right-sided one is much rarer. Most of the cases are diagnosed during early life. Because of rarity, it can be misdiagnosed and even more challenging to diagnose when presented during adult life. However, we report a rare late manifestation of right-sided unilateral lung agenesis in a 22-year-old female patient who was treated for pneumonia several times, the first reported case from Bangladesh. We also highlighted the diagnostic approach of the case in low-resource settings.
