Abstract EN
A female patient in her 30s was referred to us with a mass approximately 8 centimeters in diameter in right lung segment 6.
Bronchoscopy was done, and a tumorous lesion obstructing right B6 was found.
Biopsy of this lesion supported suspicions of sarcoma or spindle cell carcinoma.
Contrast-enhanced CT showed that the mass extended to and obstructed the right main pulmonary artery.
A skip lesion was also suspected in the periphery of pulmonary artery trunk.
The tumor was removed by right pneumonectomy accompanied by resection of the main and left pulmonary arteries under cardiopulmonary bypass.
The pulmonary artery trunk and the left pulmonary artery were reconstructed with a vascular graft.
Collectively, intimal sarcoma originating from the right main pulmonary artery with extension into the right lung was diagnosed.
Significant extension of pulmonary artery sarcoma into the lung, as was observed in the present case, is considered to be rare, and to our knowledge this is the first report in which the primary lesion was biopsied by bronchoscopy.
