            It is intended to guide through a case report the importance of the diagnostic suspicion of an unusual pathological condition, but with a fast detection it can generate considerable benefits to the patient who suffers it. A 21-year-old female with a history of childhood asthma and who presented a pneumonic episode of 6 months of evolution. The patient consulted for continuous back pain of 2 months associated with 4 episodes of hemoptysis. A chest computed tomography scan (CT scan) revealed absence of the left pulmonary artery. In conclusion, the unilateral agenesis of the pulmonary artery becomes a diagnostic challenge due to its low prevalence and diverse clinical manifestations, being relevant an early identification.
