Cardiac metastases of lung cancers are common and are associated with serious complications. Locally aggressive lung tumors have the potential to extend into the left atrium via pulmonary veins, which can further complicate by embolizing into the systemic circulation. Pulmonary blastoma (PB) is one of the rare forms of primary lung malignancy and is locally aggressive. We report a rare case of 30 years old male patient who underwent left pneumonectomy for PB. During resection, the tumor was embolized into the descending thoracic aorta, leading to an acute circulatory compromise of both the lower limbs.
肺癌的心脏转移很常见，并与严重并发症相关。局部侵袭性肺肿瘤有可能通过肺静脉扩展到左心房，这可能会进一步通过栓塞进入体循环而变得复杂。肺胚细胞瘤（PB）是一种罕见的原发性肺恶性肿瘤，具有局部侵袭性。我们报告了一例罕见的 30 岁男性患者，因 PB 而行左全肺切除术。在切除过程中，肿瘤栓塞入降主动脉，导致双下肢急性循环衰竭。
