Abstract
Hepatic pulmonary fusion is a rare congenital anomaly and is associated with abnormal
systemic venous drainage and arterial supply. We describe multidetector computed tomography
and magnetic resonance angiogram findings of an 11-year-old boy with recurrent cough,
fever, and respiratory distress caused by hepatic pulmonary fusion.
