Abstract:
Pulmonary hypertension is a rare complication of pneumoconiosis,which is caused by long term denture dusk contacting and poor protection.Here we reported a case,who was a denture technician and had been engaged in denture grinding for more than 10 years.According to the specific lung imaging findings and dust exposure history,she was diagnosed with interstitial lung disease and pneumoconiosis (probable).Precapillary pulmonary hypertension was confirmed by right cardiac catheterization.
