Abstract:INTRODUCTION
Pulmonary hypertension (PH) is a complex syndrome arising from diverse underlying conditions and characterized by elevated pulmonary arterial pressure. Current clinical guidelines classify PH into five categories based on pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and hemodynamic characteristics. While left heart disease and pulmonary disorders represent the most prevalent causes globally, hematologic malignancies constitute a rare etiological group 1,2. In particular, PH secondary to pulmonary infiltration by diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) remains extraordinarily uncommon in clinical practice. We presented a case documenting this unusual clinical and pathological association.
