Key result
Surgical resection confirms intimal pulmonary artery sarcoma presenting with severe dyspnea and right heart insufficiency.
Why the study?
Pulmonary artery sarcoma is a rare tumor with poor prognosis that can present as severe dyspnea and right heart insufficiency, requiring improved diagnostic awareness.
Case Report (n=1)
Pulmonary artery sarcoma should be considered in the differential diagnosis of patients with dyspnea and right heart failure, especially with concurrent weight loss, where echocardiography serves as a useful initial diagnostic tool.
