Abstract

We present an extremely rare case of Hughes‒Stovin syndrome, of which we believe <60 cases have been reported in English medical literature. We wish to draw the attention of our fellow cardiologists to consider this when coming across patients with pulmonary artery aneurysm in their clinical practice. Appropriate treatment, if instituted promptly and early in the course of the disease, has the potential to induce remission.

Keywords: Hughes‒Stovin syndrome; pulmonary artery aneurysm; venous thrombosis.
