A Case of Multiple Pulmonary Infarctions Occurring in an Ambulant Male, and Associated with Rectal Lesions

DANIEL J. STONE M.D.1 and FRANCIS J. LOVELOCK M.D.2

1 Assistant Chief, Chest Medical Section.
2 Chief, Chest Medical Section.

An unusual case of multiple pulmonary infarctions occurring in a presumably well, ambulant and active young male has been presented. Clinically it was striking that the embolic disease occurred in association with an unusual inflammatory process involving the hemorrhoidal veins which may have been due to the virus of lymphopathia venereum. It is recognized that this, association may be coincidental, but it is suggested that the hemorrhoidal veins may have been the source of these emboli since no other was demonstrated.

The hypothesis presented above merits consideration, and it is hoped that in some small measure this report will stimulate clinical, pathological and experimental investigation of the rectal circulation in relation to pulmonary embolism.
