A Brief Overview of Medical Management Options in Peripheral Arterial Disease

Abstract

Pulmonary artery malignancies are extremely rare, with a reported occurrence of 0.001-0.03% and almost all being sarcomas from the intima and worldwide less than 250 cases have been reported [1, 2]. A high degree of suspicion is required to diagnose this tumor as imaging modalities may not adequately identify this tumor [1-3] posing challenges in diagnosis as illustrated in our case. Because of the high mortality associated with this malignancy, early and aggressive intervention is crucial.
