Pulmonary arterial hypertension unveils itself: a cancer-like progression - a case report.

This case highlights the challenges of a timely diagnosis of PAH and the importance of close clinical monitoring of patients at high risk of PAH. In addition, it emphasizes the fast development of severe haemodynamic changes associated with a BMPR2 mutation. The availability of a lung biopsy without signs of pulmonary vascular disease (PVD) and a right heart catheterization with mild pulmonary hypertension at the baseline assessment demonstrates that PVD can progress in a neoplastic-like manner in a matter of months.
