Popis: Pulmonary angiosarcoma (PAS) is a malignant tumor of the vascular wall of mesenchymal origin. PAS is rare and has unknown etiology and poor prognosis. Depending on the location, angiosarcoma can lead to serious obstructive and embolic complications, as well as severe pulmonary hypertension and right ventricular heart failure. Patients with PAS are often mistakenly diagnosed with pulmonary embolism, chronic thromboembolic pulmonary hypertension, or lung tumors. Here, we present a clinical case of combined treatment of PAS.
