We report the case of a man with biopsy-proved pulmonary Langerhans' cell granulomatosis (histiocytosis X) and pulmonary precapillary hypertension. Pulmonary vascular resistances and mean pulmonary artery pressure decreased with corticosteroid therapy and dyspnea improved.

Key Words: Langerhans' cell granulomatosis • pulmonary hypertension • steroids
