Primary tumours of the pulmonary arteries are rare neoplasms seldom diagnosed during the patient's life time. We report on two cases of pulmonary artery sarcomas diagnosed during life time of the respective patients in intra-operative frozen sections by histopathological examination. Case 1 was of a 55-year-old man with a fibrosarcoma originating from the main pulmonary trunk. Case 2 was of a 43-year-old woman with a malignant fibrous histiocytoma originating from the right pulmonary artery. In both patients a radical tumour resection under cardiopulmonary bypass was attempted. Both patients, however, had a local tumour recurrence and died 18 months (patient 1) and 6 months (patient 2) after surgery. A review of pulmonary artery sarcomas is given.
肺动脉原发性肿瘤是罕见的肿瘤,在患者生前很少被诊断出来。我们报告两例在患者术中冰冻切片时通过组织病理学检查确诊为肺动脉肉瘤的病例。病例1是一名55岁男性,患有起源于主肺动脉干的纤维肉瘤。病例2是一名43岁女性,患有起源于右肺动脉的恶性纤维组织细胞瘤。对这两名患者均尝试在体外循环下进行根治性肿瘤切除术。然而,两名患者均出现局部肿瘤复发,并分别在术后18个月(患者1)和6个月(患者2)死亡。本文对肺动脉肉瘤进行了综述。
