ABSTRACT
The estimated relative incidence of primary pulmonary sarcoma to lung cancer is 0.4%. Furthermore, osteogenic sarcoma of the pulmonary artery is extremely rare. We report a case of a 63-year-old woman who visited our emergency room with the chief complaints of chest pain, dyspnea and dizziness. On echocardiography, right heart failure due to acute pulmonary artery embolism was diagnosed and we performed emergency operation. After opening the main pulmonary artery trunk, we found a mass attached to the arterial wall and massive thrombi around the mass. The mass was diagnosed as primary pulmonary artery osteosarcoma through postoperative evaluation. The patient received chemotherapy and radiotherapy. The patient is alive without specific symptoms 16 months postoperatively.
