Primary pulmonary artery sarcomas are rare tumors that are frequently
misdiagnosed as chronic pulmonary emboli. We
present classic imaging findings and review data from 136 previously
reported sarcomas. We believe that the imaging
findings can be quite specific, especially when the disease is advanced.
Despite a recent increase in antemortem
diagnosis, the prognosis remains poor. Surgery prolongs survival time
and is potentially curative. Experience with
adjuvant chemotherapy and radiotherapy is limited.
