We present a prepubertal male cystic fibrosis patient with high
circulating oestrogen levels (as a consequence of severe
cystic-fibrosis-related hepatobiliary disease) who subsequently
developed a large pelvic arteriovenous malformation. This has not
previously been described in patients with cystic fibrosis, despite the
association between high oestrogen levels and arteriovenous
malformations. The aetiology and treatment options of arteriovenous
malformations are discussed.
Keywords: arteriovenous malformation; cystic fibrosis
