Primary pulmonary artery sarcomas are rare tumors that are frequently misdiagnosed as chronic pulmonary emboli. We present classic imaging findings and review data from 136 previously reported sarcomas. We believe that the imaging findings can be quite specific, especially when the disease is advanced. Despite a recent increase in antemortem diagnosis, the prognosis remains poor. Surgery prolongs survival time and is potentially curative. Experience with adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy is limited.
原发性肺动脉肉瘤是一种罕见的肿瘤，常被误诊为慢性肺栓塞。我们展示了典型的影像学表现，并回顾了136例先前报道的肉瘤的数据。我们认为，影像学表现可能非常具有特异性，尤其是在疾病晚期。尽管近期生前诊断有所增加，但预后仍然很差。手术可延长生存时间，且有可能治愈。辅助化疗和放疗的经验有限。
