Pulmonary agenesis is an uncommon congenital abnormality defined by the complete absence of the lung parenchyma, as well as the bronchial and vascular structures. Right-sided pulmonary agenesis is less frequent, has a worse prognosis, and is usually associated with other congenital abnormalities. We reported the clinical case of a 31-year-old woman with right pulmonary agenesis, and no other congenital abnormalities, whose diagnosis was confirmed by thoracic computed tomography and bronchofibroscopy and who has a good prognosis.
