Abstract
The frequency pulmonary hypertension as an additional complication of lung carcinomatosis is miscalculated if based upon the infrequent reports in the literature. It accompanies an intense pulmonary functional impairment and is considered a relatively specific syndrome termed subacute pulmonary hypertension. Although often due to tumor embolization of the pulmonary vascular bed, lymphangitic carcinoma and even benign embolization are recognized causes. The pathologic and radiologic spectrum associated with this syndrome is variable, but correlation of the 2 is often possible.
