Lung tumours are the leading metastatic cancers that spread to the heart through direct invasion, and rarely extend into the chambers of the left side of the heart via pulmonary veins. A case of primary lung sarcoma involving a patient who presented with dyspnea and fatigue is reported. This sarcoma extended from the lung into the left atrium via (a/the) pulmonary vein. Chemotherapy and radiotherapy were recommended. Surgery was not considered due to high risk and the advanced stage of the tumour.
肺部肿瘤是通过直接侵犯扩散至心脏的主要转移性癌症,很少通过肺静脉延伸至心脏左侧腔室。本文报告了一例原发性肺肉瘤病例,该患者表现为呼吸困难和疲劳。此肉瘤通过肺静脉从肺部延伸至左心房。建议进行化疗和放疗。由于风险高且肿瘤处于晚期,未考虑手术治疗。
