Left atrial leiomyosarcoma occluding pulmonary veins presents with persistent hemoptysis and progressive pulmonary infiltrates.
Left atrial leiomyosarcoma can present with hemoptysis and pulmonary infiltrates due to pulmonary vein occlusion.
May prompt cardiac imaging in unexplained hemoptysis with infiltrates; leaves open whether early detection improves outcomes in atrial sarcomas.
A patient with persistent hemoptysis and progressive pulmonary infiltrates was found at postmortem to have a leiomyosarcoma of the left atrium that was occluding the right pulmonary veins. Venous t...
