title: [Isolated endangiitis of the lung].
abstract: A case is reported of isolated endangiitis obliterans with interstitial fibrosis of the lung in a 44-year-old woman. It was characterized by rapid clinical progress with right heart failure: chest X-ray revealed only slight interstitial fibrosis of the lung. An exogenous noxa (by inhalation or ingestion, particularly of drugs) was ruled out. Histologic findings afforded evidence of a primary pathologic process involving the medium and small arteries of the lung. There was no evidence of primary multiple emboli of the lung.
