Abstract
Primary pulmonary hypertension is a rare disease of unknown case. Functional hyposplenism is characterized by the appearance of abnormal circulating erythrocytes despite the presence of a spleen and is associated with a variety of disease states. A case of primary pulmonary hypertension associated with functional hyposplenism is described in this report.
