<abstract>
<p>Primary pulmonary hypertension (PPH) is a rare, progressive and incurable disease, which is characterized by an increase in the pulmonary artery pressure without a demonstrable cause. The most common presenting symptom is dyspnea on exertion, with other symptoms comprising of chest pain, syncope and hemoptysis. The diagnosis is one of exclusion of any of the known causes of pulmonary hypertension. When associated with pregnancy, the maternal mortality ranges from 30 to 50&#x0025;. Because pregnancy and labor are very serious problems for patients with PPH, the available evidence suggests that pregnancy when afflicted with PPH should be avoided. In account the case of a 33-year old patient, reporting with massive hemoptysis, and diagnosed with PPH during her twenty seventh week of gestation, is presented. She was treated with conservative management, including oxygen and a vasodilator, and underwent a pregnancy termination. However, due to aggravation of right heart failure, she presented with severe systemic hypotension and hypoxemia, and eventually died. This case is reported, with brief review of the literature.</p>
