2009
Abstract
The case presented the patient with primary pulmonary hypertension (PH). It is clinically defined as a pulmonary arterial pressure greater than 25 mmHg at rest.
Clinical and pathological examinations did not document any cause of secondary PH. The histological finding of the complex pulmonary artery lesions appears as a strong support for the diagnosis of primary PH.
