We report a unique case of segmental pulmonary artery dissection in a 48-year-old female, with confirmed systemic lupus erythematosus and pulmonary hypertension. Several cardiopulmonary manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus have been described in literature and the association with pulmonary hypertension is well known. Among the 7 radiologically reported cases of pulmonary artery dissection, only one had segmental pulmonary artery dissection, and to our knowledge no case of pulmonary artery dissection has been reported in systemic lupus erythematosus.
