Intimal sarcoma of the pulmonary artery is commonly misdiagnosed as chronic pulmonary embolism. Rarely, it can involve the right ventricular outflow tract and the pulmonary valve. We report a patient who was treated surgically for an intimal sarcoma of the pulmonary artery involving the right ventricular outflow tract and the pulmonary valve. The sarcoma recurred in about 8 weeks. It responded favorably to chemoradiation therapy and shows some signs of regression.
肺动脉内膜肉瘤通常被误诊为慢性肺栓塞。很少见的情况下,它也可能累及右心室流出道和肺动脉瓣。我们报告了一例患者,其肺动脉内膜肉瘤累及右心室流出道和肺动脉瓣,接受了手术治疗。大约 8 周后肉瘤复发。该患者对放化疗反应良好,显示出一些消退迹象。
