A case of primary pulmonary arterial sarcoma (PPAS) treated with Endostar injection and radiotherapy and discuss the diagnosis, clinical characteristics, and pathology of PPAS. The patient complained of cough, sputum, fever, and chest pain with hemoptysis. Numerous nodules were seen in the computed tomography scan. ⋯ Hence, it can be easily misdiagnosed as PE, biopsy for confirmation. Current treatment is limited and includes surgery.
