To call attention to the rare involvement of pulmonary artery by sarcoma.
To summarize the clinical, radiological and pathologic features of a case of pulmonary artery sarcoma.
Pulmonary artery sarcoma has similar clinical manifestations as other pulmonary artery obstructive diseases (including pulmonary thromboembolism). The diagnosis should be considered in the patient with clinical presentations suggested pulmonary embolism. The radiological findings included unilateral hilar enlargement, contiguously soft tissue-filled pulmonary artery and pulmonary nodules and clinically deterioration was found after anticoagulant therapy.
Pulmonary artery sarcoma is usually misdiagnosed as other pulmonary artery obstructive diseases. More attention should be paid to it.
引起对肉瘤罕见累及肺动脉情况的关注。
总结1例肺动脉肉瘤患者的临床、影像学及病理特征。
肺动脉肉瘤具有与其他肺动脉阻塞性疾病（包括肺血栓栓塞症）相似的临床表现。对于有提示肺栓塞临床表现的患者应考虑该诊断。影像学表现包括单侧肺门增大、相连的软组织填充的肺动脉及肺结节，且抗凝治疗后临床症状恶化。
肺动脉肉瘤常被误诊为其他肺动脉阻塞性疾病。应予以更多关注。
