A 61-year-old female with a history of vaginal dryness, Raynaud's phenomenon, xerostomia and xerophthalmia presented with exertional dyspnoea and weakness. Laboratory and instrumental examinations enabled us to make the diagnosis of primary Sjögren's syndrome, while cardiologic and imaging investigations evidenced isolated pulmonary hypertension and ruled out pulmonary fibrosis. Oral anticoagulant and furosemide therapy induced a partial improvement of exertional dyspnoea and weakness.
