Use of Multimodal Imaging for Diagnosis and Management of Pulmonary Artery Sarcoma Mimicking as Acute Pulmonary Embolism
Year: 2024
Type: article
Study design: Case Report
Abstract: Pulmonary artery sarcoma is a rare intravascular tumor that mimics pulmonary embolus. Early recognition and referral to surgery is important because nonsurgically treated tumors have a poor prognosis. Here, we describe a case of pulmonary artery sarcoma diagnosed with multimodal imaging, which also aided in surgical planning.
