Abstract

Pulmonary complications of primary antiphospholipid syndrome are common and diverse, with thromboembolic events counting as the most frequent manifestation. We present the case of a female patient with a diagnosis of primary antiphospholipid syndrome, pulmonary thromboembolism and infarction followed by lung cavitation.
