Massive pulmonary embolism (PE), specially unprovoked can be easily under looked as differential diagnosis of patients present with acute onset of eathlessness. If promptly diagnosed, such patients respond well to the conventional medical therapy. This paper describes a case of massive pulmonary embolism in a young male, who couldn’t be found to be having risk factors for venous thromboembolism (VTE), so called idiopathic or unprovoked embolism. Missing to rule out such a massive unprovoked PE can be rapidly fatal.
