Pulmonary tumour embolism is a rare complication of malignancy and should be considered a differential diagnosis if imaging features are atypical for a bland thrombus. It can arise from a range of primary tumours, including soft tissue sarcomas; however, reported cases are sparse. We present a case of pulmonary tumour embolism secondary to a large right knee myxofibrosarcoma, with diagnosis confirmed following biopsy of a pulmonary nodule and a palpable inguinal lymph node.
肺肿瘤栓塞是恶性肿瘤的一种罕见并发症,如果影像学特征不符合单纯血栓表现,则应考虑将其作为鉴别诊断。它可源于一系列原发性肿瘤,包括软组织肉瘤;然而,报道的病例较少。我们报告一例继发于右膝巨大黏液纤维肉瘤的肺肿瘤栓塞病例,经肺结节及可触及的腹股沟淋巴结活检确诊。
