Angiosarcoma arising in the pulmonary artery is extremely rare. We herein report a case of angiosarcoma arising in the pulmonary artery trunk of 71 year-old woman. This case was clinically diagnosed as pulmonary thromboembolism but angiosarcoma of the pulmonary artery should be considered as the differential diagnosis of unusual clinical manifestations of pulmonary thromboembolism because of the extremely poor prognosis of the lesion.
起源于肺动脉的血管肉瘤极为罕见。我们在此报告一例发生于一名71岁女性肺动脉主干的血管肉瘤病例。该病例临床诊断为肺血栓栓塞症,但由于该病变预后极差,对于肺血栓栓塞症不寻常临床表现的鉴别诊断应考虑到肺动脉血管肉瘤。
