Fig. 5B —53-year-old woman with mixed connective tissue disease and shortness
of breath. Lateral chest radiograph shows enlargement of central pulmonary
arteries and right ventricular outflow tract. Curvilinear calcification of
right pulmonary artery (arrow) is consistent with long-standing
pulmonary arterial hypertension. Patient had no evidence of interstitial lung
disease or pulmonary embolism. Echocardiography showed presence of pulmonary
arterial hypertension, which was clinically diagnosed as secondary to
plexogenic arteriopathy associated with mixed connective tissue disease.
