May support FDG-PET/CT consideration in suspected pulmonary artery sarcoma; leaves open routine differentiation from embolism.
Guo et al. (2015) conducted a case report in Pulmonary artery sarcoma (n=1). 18F-FDG PET/CT was evaluated on Detection of pulmonary artery sarcoma. 18F-FDG PET/CT revealed intense hypermetabolism in the pulmonary arteries, guiding the biopsy-confirmed diagnosis of primary pulmonary artery sarcoma in a 32-year-old woman.
