BACKGROUND
Pulmonary artery sarcoma is a rare tumor with a poor prognosis.
METHODS
We report the case of a 64-year-old man with an intimal pulmonary artery sarcoma presenting with severe high oxygen flow-demanding dyspnea and weight loss of 12 kg in the last 6 months. On echocardiography, right
BACKGROUND
Synovial sarcoma is a malignant neoplasm of soft tissues. It occurs mainly in the extremities and is closely related to tendons, tendon sheaths, and bursal structures. Primary synovial sarcoma of the pleura and lungs is extremely rare.
METHODS
We present the case of a 62-year-old man with
BACKGROUND
We report a case of pulmonary sarcoma which is a rare cause of the common symptom of dyspnea.
METHODS
A fifty-one year old previously healthy male presented to the emergency room with complaints of dyspnea on exertion. A cardiac workup including an exercise stress test was negative but an
There is little information on symptom prevalence and severity in advanced soft-tissue sarcoma (STS). Understanding symptom burden will aid clinical consultations, clarify which symptom interventions are needed, and better define optimum timings of palliative and supportive care referrals.
To
Background: Musculoskeletal sarcomas (MSSs) are rare cancers and often aggressive tumors that originate from mesenchymal tissue. Patients with advanced MSS often report difficulties with symptom burden, which can reduce their health-related quality-of-life. Objective: The aim of this
Pulmonary artery sarcomas (PAS's) are extremely rare malignant tumors that arise from the endothelial lining of the pulmonary arteries. On CT scans PAS's appear as intraluminal filling defects in the pulmonary arteries, mimicking pulmonary embolism (PE). Due to the similarities in radiographic
OBJECTIVE
To improve our understanding and facilitate early diagnosis of pulmonary artery sarcoma (PAS).
METHODS
The clinical and radiological features of 9 histopathologically confirmed patients with PAS were retrospectively analyzed.
RESULTS
Our PAS cohort consisted of 5 males and 4 females, with
The preoperative diagnosis of massive pulmonary tumor embolism associated with renal neoplasms is relatively rare. In most cases, pulmonary tumor embolism is detected intraoperatively during renal tumor resection. Moreover, primary renal sarcoma is rare, and primary renal sarcoma BACKGROUND
Tumor embolisms (TE) are an underappreciated source of pulmonary embolisms in sarcoma. Most evidence in the literature is limited to case reports and none have described the presence of TE secondary to myxofibrosarcoma. We report the first case of myxofibrosarcoma TE and perform a review
Pazopanib, an oral multi-targeted tyrosine kinase inhibitor, is associated with improved outcomes in patients with unresectable or metastatic soft tissue sarcoma. Pazopanib may cause cardiotoxicity such as heart failure.A 50-year-old female patient with no A 55-year-old woman presented with a history of constitutional symptoms with exertional dyspnea, orthopnea, and cough for one month. She developed progressive heart failure symptoms. Initial computed tomography revealed a large left atrial mass with compression of pulmonary veins and mitral valve.
A large intra-cardiac tumor from the right ventricle to pulmonary trunk was detected by contrast-enhanced computed tomography and transthoracic echocardiography in a 59-year-old woman with progressive dyspnea on effort and acute congestive right-sided heart failure. Emergent surgical management was
Kaposi's sarcoma (KS) is the most common neoplasm in persons infected with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). However, information about the presenting features of pulmonary KS is limited. To describe the clinical, laboratory, and radiographic features of pulmonary KS, medical records and chest
A 49-year-old woman had a six-week history of increasing shortness of breath and fatigue. X-ray films and pulmonary scans showed multiple areas of emboli, especially in the right lung. Treatment with heparin was unsuccessful, and although a repeat scan showed only slight changes, the patient's
BACKGROUND
A 40-year-old woman presented with dyspnea in the fifth month of pregnancy followed by a sudden onset of pleuritic chest pain 2 weeks postpartum. She was diagnosed as having pulmonary embolism by CT angiography and anticoagulated with heparin followed by warfarin. Despite 6 months of
