Pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis: multidetector row CT findings and clinico-pathologic correlation.
Pulmonary capillary hemangiomatosis (PCH) is a rare potentially fatal cause of post-capillary pulmonary hypertension. We present a case demonstrating the CT imaging features of the underlying capillary proliferation and invasion of alveoli and vasculature.
