ABSTRACT
Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM) is an uncommon and fatal malignancy-related pulmonary complication characterized by fibrocellular intimal proliferation of small pulmonary arteries and arterioles. It causes marked pulmonary hypertension, right-side heart failure, and sudden death. Diagnosis of PTTM is extremely difficult while the patient is alive. Here, we report a 44-year-old woman who presented with complaining of progressing dyspnea and pulmonary hypertension but with no history of cancer. She was diagnosed with PTTM caused by advanced gastric cancer ante mortem and was treated effectively with chemotherapy.
