Other cardiovascular, gastrointestinal, musculoskeletal, and urogenital system anomalies can be observed in association with it.Case ReportA 24-year-old female patient presented to our clinic with a history of cough and chest pain with an abnormal chest X-ray. Physical examination was normal. Chest X-ray, CT-Scan and endoscopy led to the diagnosis of right upper lobe pulmonary agenesis.ConclusionThe diagnosis of pulmonary malformations like agenesis or hypoplasia can be delayed and may not occur until adulthood.
