ABSTRACT
Primary pulmonary angiosarcomas are extremely rare tumors. The diagnosis is often delayed due to nonspecific symptoms, mimicking pulmonary embolism and require careful clinical evaluation to exclude metastasis from the heart, pericardium, and distant extrathoracic sites. Most diagnosis are made postmortem. We report a case of primary pulmonary angiosarcoma histopathologically confirmed postoperatively, which was clinically suspected endobronchial carcinoma with endobronchial obstruction with relavant literature review.
