In conclusion, PTTM is a rare pulmonary complication of cancer that is fatal because of its rapid progression. To make an early diagnosis and intervene therapeutically, it is important to include PTTM in the differential diagnosis of cancer patients with rapidly progressing hypoxemia without pulmonary thromboembolism. Although we could not change the clinical outcome using highflow nasal cannula oxygen therapy, we revealed that the cause of death in PTTM is circulatory failure, and not hypoxia. Nevertheless, further studies are needed to elucidate the pathogenesis and treatment of PTTM.
