Abstract
Summary: The clinical course and autopsy findings of five cases are presented, which demonstrate that obstruction of the pulmonary vein from any cause leads to an unusual form of interstitial fibrosis in the lung parenchyma drained by the obstructed vein. These cases would suggest that in any instance of unexplained pulmonary interstitial fibrosis the pulmonary veins and their auricular orifices should be carefully examined. The possibility of recognizing this condition before death is briefly discussed.
