Abstract

A 30-year-old man was diagnosed to have right lung agenesis and left pulmonary bronchiectasis after diagnostic workup for dyspnea developed during hemodialysis due to CRF. We report this patient as case report because he had a longer survival and no associated systemic malformation though right-sided lung agenesis contrary to data in the literature. © 2005 Elsevier Ltd.
