Abstract

A 48-year-old female was found to have fibrosing mediastinitis with pulmonary artery obstruction 4 years after an episode of right upper lobe pulmonary infarction. Biopsy material from the right upper lobe obtained at the time of the initial episode suggested venous obstruction. Acquired pulmonary artery occlusion secondary to fibrosing mediastinitis is a rare entity. This patient and twelve other reported cases are contrasted.
