A rare case of pleomorphic intimal sarcoma of pulmonary trunk is reported. The patient presented with symptoms of right ventricular out flow tract (RVOT) obstruction. Metastatic deposits were seen in lungs, diaphragm and thyroid. Bronchial mucosal involvement was also seen. The tumour showed multicentric origin and on electron microscopic examination in a particular cell line was seen.

A male in his seventies presented with lung cancer in the right lower lobe. The surgically resected specimen revealed a pleomorphic carcinoma featuring an adenocarcinoma component with lepidic, acinar, and papillary patterns, alongside a spindle cell component spreading along the pulmonary artery wall, resembling intimal sarcoma. The spindle tumor cells were positive for keratins, TTF-1, napsin A, and vimentin, but negative for p40, CK14, desmin, alpha-smooth muscle actin, CDK4, and MDM2.

Primary intimal sarcoma of the pulmonary artery is a rare and aggressive malignancy that presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to its nonspecific symptoms and propensity for late detection. This case report aimed to elucidate the diagnostic journey, surgical intervention, and multidisciplinary management of this rare entity. In September 2023, a 42-year-old male presented with dyspnea on exertion and retrosternal chest pain, classified as NYHA FC II.

Purpose: Sarcoma encompasses a diverse group of cancers that are typically resistant to current therapies, including immune checkpoint blockade (ICB), and underlying mechanisms are poorly understood. The contexture of sarcomas limits generation of high-quality data using cutting-edge molecular profiling methods, such as single-cell RNA-sequencing, thus hampering progress in understanding these understudied cancers.
Experimental Design: Here, we demonstrate feasibility of producing multimodal single-cell genomics and whole-genome sequencing data from frozen tissues, profiling 75,716 cell transcriptomes of five undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma and three intimal sarcoma samples, including paired specimens from two patients treated with ICB.

Aortic sarcomas are extremely rare. Sarcomas associated with aortic graft replacement are even rarer; only 17 cases have been examined through immunohistochemical staining to date, most of which were either angiosarcomas or intimal sarcomas. Here, we report the case of an 88-year-old man with an undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) that developed after aortic graft replacement and was diagnosed through postmortem autopsy.
