Abstract
Pulmonary hypoplasia is a bronchopulmonary foregut anomaly characterized by a decreased number of alveoli and decreased alveolar air space. At autopsy, pulmonary hypoplasia is one of the important causes of death in newborns and infants. Pulmonary hypoplasia is rare in adults. In this paper, we present a case of pulmonary hypoplasia in a 52-year-old, asymptomatic woman. We discuss pulmonary hypoplasia and review the literature findings.
