Abstract
Pulmonary artery intimal sarcomas (PAISs) are rare, malignant tumours that arise from the intimal or intramural wall of the pulmonary artery and are often mistaken for pulmonary emboli. Diagnosis and treatment of this condition are difficult due to the lack of formal guidelines. Initiating treatment as soon as possible after diagnosis is essential for maximising survival. Here, we present the case of a patient with a PAIS that initially presented similar to pulmonary thromboembolic disease and was treated with a multimodal approach.
