Abstract

Pulmonary artery sarcoma is a rare disease that has been frequently misdiagnosed. A 77-year-old woman presented with palpitations and was found to have pulmonary hypertension. Contrast-enhanced computed tomography showed a characteristic contrast defect occupying the entire lumen of the main pulmonary artery, leading to a diagnosis of pulmonary artery sarcoma.
