Abstract

Primary sarcoma of the pulmonary artery (PA) is rare. The diagnosis is difficult and often delayed. Two patients with primary sarcoma of the PA that mimicked pulmonary thromboembolic diseases who presented with complications requiring surgical intervention are described. The diagnostic and management issues regarding these often unsuspected but aggressive tumors are discussed.
