AI Article Synopsis
- A 48-year-old woman was diagnosed with primary sarcomatoid carcinoma originating from the right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and had no right pulmonary artery (RPA).
- Imaging studies, including computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) and transthoracic echocardiography (TTE), showed blocked RVOT by multiple masses and confirmed the absence of RPA.
- After a palliative surgery, the histopathological examination confirmed the diagnosis of sarcomatoid carcinoma and validated the absence of the RPA.
Article Abstract
We describe the imaging features of a 48-year-old woman with primary sarcomatoid carcinoma originating from right ventricular outflow tract (RVOT) and isolated absence of right pulmonary artery (RPA). Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) demonstrated the absence of RPA. Both transthoracic echocardiography (TTE) and CTPA revealed multiple masses filling and obstructing the RVOT. A palliative operation was performed on the patient, and the postoperative histopathology and immunohistochemical examination confirmed primary sarcomatoid carcinoma originating from the RVOT. The operation also confirmed the absence of RPA.
