Abstract:
INTRODUCTION:Pulmonary artery sarcoma is a rare disease with non-specific symptoms. The clinical and radiological presentation can mimic pulmonary embolism with chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension. Management is essentially surgical but the prognosis remains poor. CASE REPORT:A patient presented with symptoms of pulmonary embolism. Despite vitamin K antagonist therapy, he suffered from extension of the endovascular defects and his pulmonary hypertension increased. Suspicious results of positron emission tomography suggested the diagnosis of pulmonary artery sarcoma that was confirmed by surgery. However, the outcome was unfavourable, leading to death of the patient. CONCLUSION:This case reinforces the idea that the clinical and tomodensitometric presentations of pulmonary arterial sarcoma and chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension are similar. The positron emission tomography seems to be a key to distinguishing these two diagnoses.
