Pulmonary varicosis is a rare, presumably congenital localized dilatation of a pulmonary vein which is often associated with cardiac disease. We describe a case featuring enlargement of a pulmonary varix after mitral valve replacement, caused by mitral regurgitation, and discuss diagnostic possibilities, differential diagnosis and various development of this vascular malformation. A detailed review of the literature is given.
