Abstract:
A 32-year-old woman, who presented with "sharp pain" in the right chest for more than 1 month and worsening dyspnea and fever for 10 days, was initially thought to have a pulmonary embolism. Cardiac ultrasound showed an ill-defined echogenic mass within the pulmonary trunk. F-FDG PET/CT was performed for further evaluation. PET/CT showed an intense hypermetabolism in the main, bilateral proximal, and the right main pulmonary arteries, suggesting the presence of a malignant lesion. Biopsy confirmed the lesion as a primary pulmonary artery sarcoma.

Pulmonary Angiogram
A Pulmonary Angiogram is an invasive procedure involving injecting a contrast medium through a catheter threaded into the pulmonary artery or the right side of the heart to visualize the pulmonary vasculature. Computed Tomography (CT) scans have mainly replaced this...
