| description | Background: Lung leiomyoma and pulmonary arterio-venous malformation (PAVM) are both rare diseases. Occurrence of them in a patient is rare too. Because of their limited signs and symptoms and so serious complications, accurate diagnosis of both diseases is important. Case report: We present a 73 -year old female with PAVM combine with a coincidental solid mass in left upper lobe. Because of fistula size and combination with a solid mass, the lesion is treated by left upper lobectomy.           Results: As most of lung diseases will be present without any signs and symptoms, the presence of asymptomatic findings in the lung such as nodule on chest x- ray should be assessed carefully |
