Key result
Emergency surgery successfully removes a rare primary intimal sarcoma from the pulmonary artery.
Why the study?
Intimal sarcoma arising from systemic and pulmonary circulations is rare, and intimal sarcoma with chondroblastic osteosarcomatous differentiation is even rarer.
Case Report (n=1)
Intratumoral calcification on CT can help differentiate rare osteoid-forming intimal sarcoma of the pulmonary artery from pulmonary embolism, guiding appropriate emergency surgical management.

Supports emergency resection for acute pulmonary artery sarcoma; leaves open optimal adjuvant strategies and prognosis in this rare entity.
Onagi et al. (2021) conducted a case report in Primary intimal sarcoma of the pulmonary artery (n=1). Emergency surgery was evaluated. Emergency surgery successfully removed a rare primary intimal sarcoma with chondroblastic osteosarcomatous differentiation from the pulmonary artery of a 25-year-old woman.
