A case is reported in which pulmonary arteriovenous fistulas presented as new nodular lesions over a 2 year period.
If unnecessary work-ups for a primary neoplasm and disastrous results from percutaneous needle biopsies are to be avoided, this entity must be included in the differential diagnosis of pulmonary nodules evolving over a 2 year period.
Tomography should be performed in search of the "telltale" afferent and efferent vessels so characteristic of these lesions.
