Isolated unilateral absence of pulmonary artery (UAPA) is a rare congenital malformation. We describe a 26-year-old woman with isolated UAPA who presented with hemoptysis. Since massive hemoptysis may mandate selective embolization of collaterals or surgical treatment, early diagnosis of UAPA is pivotal.
