When the radiological features such as unilateral hilar enlargement and massive lumps in main trunk of pulmonary artery were observed and clinical deterioration occurred after thrombolytic and anticoagulant therapy, pulmonary artery sarcoma should be considered seriously in patients with suspected pulmonary thromboembolism.ConclusionPulmonary artery Sarcoma can be easily misdiagnosed as pulmonary thromboembolism.
