When the heart and tumours intertwine: pulmonary hypertension associated with a neuroendocrine tumour—a case report
Pulmonary hypertension secondary to extrinsic vascular compression by mediastinal tumour is a rare condition that presents a diagnostic challenge. This case highlights the importance of considering oncological aetiology in patients with progressive dyspnoea and pulmonary vascular extrinsic compression. Despite early treatment, the prognosis for these patients remains poor.
