ABSTRACT
A 60-year-old patient was under follow-up for pulmonary hypertension consistent with pulmonary veno-occlusive disease. During his follow-up, a parenchymal opacity was discovered. We describe the management of the suspicion of lung cancer, highlighting the modification of the conventional diagnostic and therapeutic strategy on account of the pulmonary hypertension. Chest physicians should be able to adapt their diagnostic and therapeutic management in the case of neoplasia in patients with severe pulmonary hypertension.
