Hypothesis-generating for multi-modality resection in pulmonary artery sarcoma; prospective data needed before practice change.
Case Report (n=1)
Pulmonary artery sarcoma is a rare but critical differential diagnosis for pulmonary emboli that requires specific diagnostic modalities and surgical resection.
Evison et al. (2014) conducted a case report in Pulmonary artery sarcoma (n=1). Surgical resection and multi-modality therapy was evaluated. Surgical resection as part of multi-modality therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for pulmonary artery sarcoma, a rare tumor frequently misdiagnosed as pulmonary emboli.
