Pulmonary artery sarcomas (PAS) are extremely rare sarcomas of uncertain histogenesis that often mimic pulmonary thromboemboli. This is a report of a 60-year-old female patient who presented with recurrent chest pain and cough. The patient was first diagnosed with pulmonary embolism but she did not improve on anticoagulant therapy. Follow-up imaging studies revealed a mass in the left hilar region extending into the pulmonary trunk and branches of the left pulmonary artery. The tru-cut biopsy revealed an undifferentiated sarcoma. The patient died 10 months after her initial presentation.
肺动脉肉瘤（PAS）是一种组织发生不确定的极其罕见的肉瘤，常酷似肺血栓栓塞症。本文报告一名60岁女性患者，她反复出现胸痛和咳嗽。该患者最初被诊断为肺栓塞，但抗凝治疗后病情并未改善。后续影像学检查显示左肺门区有一肿块，延伸至肺动脉主干及左肺动脉分支。粗针活检显示为未分化肉瘤。该患者在首次就诊后10个月死亡。
