Palpitations Revealing a Primary Pulmonary Artery Sarcoma
Primary pulmonary artery sarcoma is an exceedingly rare and aggressive malignancy that carries poor prognosis. Clinical manifestations are nonspecific and include chest pain, dyspnea, syncope, palpitations, and asthenia, among others. Delay to diagnosis is common and compromises the prognosis. Here,...

description | Primary pulmonary artery sarcoma is an exceedingly rare and aggressive malignancy that carries poor prognosis. Clinical manifestations are nonspecific and include chest pain, dyspnea, syncope, palpitations, and asthenia, among others. Delay to diagnosis is common and compromises the prognosis. Here, we report an interesting case of primary pulmonary artery sarcoma presenting with frequent monomorphic premature ventricular contractions arising from the right/left ventricle outflow tract. Cardiac imaging is key in the evaluation of patients with frequent premature ventricular contractions to rule out rare pathologies such as tumour compression. |
