The study comprised 3.629 autopsies performed at the Institute of Pathology and Forensic Medicine of the M.M.A. in the period 1980-1990. Pulmonary thromboembolism (PTE) was found in 533 (14.68%) of autopsied cases, that is, 10.88% of all causes of death. In the studied period there is an increased frequency of all PTE, especially of those with fatal outcome (p < 0.05). Of the total number of PTE found at autopsy (533), clinical diagnosis was established in 136 (25.51%), and of all fatal PTE found at autopsy (395) the clinical diagnosis was established in 123 (31.14%) during life. The clinical diagnosis of PTE was confirmed by autopsy in 42.42% of cases. Operations and neoplasms are the most frequent conditions in which PTE is occurred while myocardial infarction is the most frequently misdiagnosed for PTE during establishment of clinical diagnosis.
