Pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma is a rare malignant tumor. Due to its low prevalence, little is known about efficacious systemic chemotherapies in cases where the tumors are unresectable or metastatic. In addition, the location of the disease can contribute to poor survival regardless of the response to therapy, as the tumor’s position can cause pulmonary artery hypertension either rapidly or chronically. We encountered a case of unresectable pulmonary artery intimal sarcoma with lung metastases. Treatment with several cytotoxic agents resulted in prolonged survival of 14.2 months. Here, we report the clinical course of this case and present a review of the relevant literature.
