초록
Although pulmonary artery angiosarcoma is rare, it can be misdiagnosed as pulmonary embolism because of its similar clinicaland diagnostic features. The diagnosis is often delayed and the misdiagnosis brings unnecessary treatment. Because we made awrong diagnosis of pulmonary artery angiosarcoma as an acute pulmonary embolism, we did thrombolytic therapy which couldbe dangerous to the patient. In this case report, we focused on the clinical and echocardiographic features of pulmonary arteryangiosarcoma which can be used in differentiating the diagnosis from pulmonary embolism.
