WILLIAM B. BUCKINGHAM M.D., F.C.C.P.1; GEORGE C. SUTTON M.D.1; and WILLIAM T. MESZAROS M.D.1

1 The Departments of Radiology and Medicine, Cook County Hospital and North-western University Medical School.

1. Eleven cases of abnormalities of the pulmonary artery are reported.

2. All 11 were mistakenly diagnosed as intrathoracic neoplasm.

3. One case was subjected to thoracotomy and one was given therapeutic radiation because of incorrect diagnosis.

4. Significant associated diseases contributing to pulmonary artery dilatation were reported in cases 1 through 6.

5. In cases 7 through 11, the abnormality was confined to the pulmonary artery and the lung fields were normal.

6. The role of angiocardiography in the diagnosis of abnormal hilar shadows is emphasized.
