Abstract
Pulmonary tumor thrombotic microangiopathy (PTTM) is a rare cancer-related complication that induces pulmonary hypertension (PH). PTTM can be caused by recurrent cancer, with 12 years being the longest reported interval from primary cancer to the development of PTTM. We herein report a 74-year-old woman who presented with dyspnea due to PH. The postmortem diagnosis was PTTM caused by recurrent gastric cancer 26 years after total gastrectomy. An autopsy revealed PTTM-specific histological characteristics. Our findings indicate that PTTM should be considered as a diagnosis for patients with a history of cancer who develop PH, even several decades after treatment.
