Primary pulmonary artery sarcoma is a rare tumor that mimics pulmonary embolism. Patients may present with cough, dyspnea, chest pain, and weight loss. The diagnosis is challenging. Herein, we report a case of 29-year-old female patient who had presented with dyspnea, fatigue for 2 weeks. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography scan suggests pulmonary embolism. We decided to perform surgical embolectomy. The histopathological results, however demonstrated primary pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma. The patient died 1-month post-surgery because of respiratory and circulatory failure.
原发性肺动脉肉瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤，易与肺栓塞相混淆。患者可能出现咳嗽、呼吸困难、胸痛和体重减轻等症状。诊断具有挑战性。在此，我们报告一例29岁女性患者，她出现呼吸困难、乏力2周。计算机断层扫描肺动脉造影扫描提示肺栓塞。我们决定进行手术取栓术。然而，组织病理学结果显示为原发性肺动脉内膜肉瘤。患者术后1个月因呼吸和循环衰竭死亡。
