Abstract

Intimal sarcoma of the pulmonary artery (PAS) is a rare but potentially lethal tumour, frequently misdiagnosed as chronic thrombo-embolic pulmonary artery disease.

Further discussion will focus on the differential diagnosis with more classical causes of obstructive pulmonary vascular disease.
