Pulmonary agenesis is an uncommon congenital abnormality of the lungs that occurs either in isolation or in association with other anomalies in several organ systems. Right sided pulmonary agenesis is reported to have a worse prognosis owing to the more severe mediastinal shift and resultant compression of mediastinal structures. We present a case of right-side pulmonary agenesis with multiple associated anomalies found incidentally in a 19-year-old female patient.
