ABSTRACT

Pulmonary arterial thrombosis develops during hypercoagulable states, intra-arterial tumorous conditions, and congenital heart disease accompanied by pulmonary hypertension. Thrombosis in the main pulmonary arterial stump after pneumonectomy can also occur. Herein, we report a very rare case of pulmonary arterial thrombosis in a patient with pulmonary hypertension and a lung destroyed by tuberculosis. He presented with aggravated dyspnea without fever or purulent sputum. His chest computerized tomography scan showed left main pulmonary arterial thrombosis as a convex shape, with the ipsilateral distal arteries and arterioles showing parenchymal destruction. After excluding pulmonary thromboembolism and hypercoagulable disorders, we diagnosed pulmonary arterial thrombosis and treated him with an anticoagulant.
