  • Title: Pulmonary artery angiosarcoma on 18F-FDG PET/CT masquerading as pulmonary embolism.
    Author: Kessler A, Son H.
    Journal: Clin Nucl Med; 2015 Jan; 40(1):82-4. PubMed ID: 25423348.
    Abstract:
    A 53-year old woman suspicious for having pulmonary embolism on enhanced chest CT was proven to have metabolically active tumor in her pulmonary arteries on F-FDG PET/CT. Through biopsy and surgery, this turned out to be a pulmonary artery angiosarcoma. This case demonstrates that PET/CT is very useful in differentiating an aggressive malignant tumor from a bland pulmonary embolus in the pulmonary vasculature.
