Abstract:
:A case of idiopathic pulmonary hypertension is associated with portal venous thrombosis. The patient's chest roentgenogram revealed numerous nodular densities which at necropsy were found to have been caused by an exuberant fibroblastic reaction around small pulmonary arterioles. This is an example of the unusual association of idiopathic pulmonary hypertension and portal venous thrombosis, and to our knowledge, the first report of roentgenographically visible pulmonary nodules secondary to the pathologic alterations of idiopathic pulmonary hypertension.
