title: [A case of primary fibrosarcoma of the pulmonary artery].
abstract: A 38-year-old-man was admitted to our hospital complaining of exertional dyspnea. Chest radiography and CT showed a huge mass that completely occluded the left main pulmonary artery and spread into the right main pulmonary artery. The tumor was diagnosed as sarcoma by transbronchial biopsy. Radiation therapy obtained temporary partial response. He died of respiratory insufficiency after 14 months. The autopsy revealed primary pulmonary artery sarcoma: fibrosarcoma arising from the left pulmonary artery. To our knowledge, this is the first case report of fibrosarcoma of the pulmonary artery in Japan.
