We describe the imaging features of a 48‐year‐old woman with primary sarcomatoid carcinoma originating from right ventricular outflow tract ( RVOT ) and isolated absence of right pulmonary artery ( RPA ). Computed tomography pulmonary angiography ( CTPA ) demonstrated the absence of RPA . Both transthoracic echocardiography ( TTE ) and CTPA revealed multiple masses filling and obstructing the RVOT . A palliative operation was performed on the patient, and the postoperative histopathology and immunohistochemical examination confirmed primary sarcomatoid carcinoma originating from the RVOT . The operation also confirmed the absence of RPA .
