Stable pulmonary capillary haemangiomatosis without symptomatic pulmonary hypertension
Free

Abstract

Pulmonary capillary haemangiomatosis is a rare disorder characterised by multiple angiomatous lesions composed of proliferating capillary vessels in the lung parenchyma that usually progress rapidly to establish fatal pulmonary hypertension. The 29 year old man presented here, however, has been stable for 3.5 years since the diagnosis without symptoms of pulmonary hypertension. High resolution computed tomographic findings of the pulmonary lesions seemed specific to the disease.
