title: [Misleading pulmonary emboliu].
abstract: The authors report 12 cases of pulmonary embolism with misleading signs and discuss the difficulty in diagnosis: 1) the frequency of incomplete forms; 2) lack of specificity of the clinical and paraclinical picture of pulmonary embolism which may simulate pulmonary or heart disease; 3) difficulties in interpretation of the signs of pulmonary embolism in cases of prior heart or pulmonary disease.
