Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations are a rare type of vascular anomaly, which can be congenital or acquired. These malformations can present as single or multiple lesions and are often associated with Rendu-Osler disease. Diagnosis is typically made through thoracic CT scanning, and the standard treatment is percutaneous embolization. We present a clinical cases that can help raise awareness about rare diseases such as Pulmonary arteriovenous malformations and improve early diagnosis and management. It is important for healthcare providers to be familiar with the clinical and etiological characteristics of these conditions to ensure that patients receive appropriate care and treatment. In this case report, we describe a 7-year-old girl who presented with hemoptysis in the context of pneumopathy. Despite having no significant medical history, the patient's condition was successfully treated with antibiotic therapy and percutaneous embolization of the pulmonary arteriovenous malformation.
