    Author: Abunasser J, Colucci J, Bandyopadhyay T.
    Journal: Conn Med; 2009 May; 73(5):277-80. PubMed ID: 19441762.
    Abstract:
    A 62-year-old asymptomatic woman was found to have a left pulmonary artery filling defect on a contrast computerized tomography scan of the chest. Workup revealed a diagnosis of left pulmonary artery sarcoma. Pulmonary artery sarcomas are rare tumors with poor prognosis. A high index of clinical suspicion is required to make a timely diagnosis and avoid inappropriate treatment for pulmonary embolism.
