title: Primary pulmonary artery sarcoma: intra-operative similarity to pulmonary embolus.
abstract: An infarcted right lower lobe, thought to be due to a thrombotic pulmonary embolus, was resected in a 48 year old man. Subsequent examination of the lobe unexpectedly showed the infarction to be secondary to a primary sarcoma of the pulmonary artery.
