The incidence of the condition cannot be determined from the published reports which, for the most part, appear as pathological studies on single cases. Billings1found 16 cases in 6200 autopsies, an incidence of 0.26 per cent, and included only those in which he felt that an embolic origin had been excluded. Six cases were found in 935 consecutive autopsies at the University Hospital. including those associated with...Bibliography1. BILLINGS FT: Primary thrombosis of pulmonary artery, Penn. Med.
