Lung scintigraphy in pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis. A rare disorder causing primary pulmonary hypertension.
1991
: The authors report the results of lung scintigraphy in two patients with primary pulmonary hypertension caused by pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis, a rare disorder resulting from the proliferation of histologically normal capillaries in the lung. Perfusion studies revealed a nonhomogeneous pattern with some focal defects, similar to that seen with some other histologic types of primary pulmonary hypertension. The mechanisms underlying this perfusion pattern are unknown.
