Most patients are adults. We report a case of pulmonary artery sarcoma in a 77-year-old man who presented with acute onset of dyspnea. Magnetic resonance imaging of the chest revealed a large mass within the pulmonary trunk and its main branches. Because massive pulmonary embolism was suspected, both anticoagulant and thrombolytic therapies were initiated. The patient responded poorly to these therapies, which then necessitated resection of both the mass and the pulmonary valve. A bioprosthetic porcine valve replaced the native valve, and we reconstructed the right ventricular outflow tract with a Dacron patch. Histopathologic examination revealed a high-grade sarcoma with focal myogenic and chondrogenic differentiation. The patient tolerated the procedure well and was discharged from the hospital on postoperative day 7. He was subsequently treated with chemotherapy and radiation and continued to show no evidence of disease.<\/jats:p>\n        <jats:p>The diagnosis of pulmonary artery sarcoma should be suspected in patients who present with manifestations of pulmonary embolism, especially when there is no evidence of deep venous thrombosis and poor response to anticoagulant therapy. Multimodal therapy can provide prolonged survival.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.14503\/thij-13-3735","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2014,10,1]],"date-time":"2014-10-01T20:04:57Z","timestamp":1412193897000},"page":"515-517","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":17,"title":["Pulmonary Artery Sarcoma Mimicking Pulmonary Embolism"],"prefix":"10.14503","volume":"41","author":[{"given":"Magdy M.","family":"El-Sayed Ahmed","sequence":"first","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Muhammad","family":"Aftab","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Raed M.","family":"Al-Najjar","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Kim I.","family":"de la Cruz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Robert S.","family":"Benjamin","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"Charles H.","family":"Hallman","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"5628","reference":[{"issue":"6","key":"i0730-2347-41-5-515-b1","series-title":"Eur Respir J","first-page":"1202","article-title":"Primary pulmonary artery sarcoma resembling chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease","volume":"16","year":"2000","unstructured":"Kaplinsky\n              EJ\n            , FavaloroRR, PomboG, PerroneSV, ViglianoCA, SchnidtJL, BoughenRP.\n          Primary pulmonary artery sarcoma resembling chronic thromboembolic pulmonary disease.
