Abstract
Granulomatous venulitis is an exceedingly rare condition characterized by granulomatous inflammation and obliteration of small pulmonary veins, leading to the development of pulmonary venoocclusive disease. The prognosis is poor, with most patients surviving less than 1 year after diagnosis. We present the first case, to our knowledge, of successful management of this disease by lung transplantation.
