“…There are a lack of specific clinical manifestations for primary pulmonary sarcomas (17,18). The majority of patients have demonstrated insidious onset, predominantly involving progressive dyspnea, chest pain, coughing, hemoptysis, syncopes, fever, fatigue and weight loss (4,6,8,15,16).…”

“…In addition, previous studies have recommended that the CT data be used together with positron-emission tomography (PET)-CT results for the diagnosis of PAS (4,(7)(8)(9). The performance of 18 F-fludeoxyglucose ( 18 FDG) PET-CT in patients with PTE or CTEPH showed no increase in radiotracer intake, whereas in patients with PAS, 18 FDG PET-CT showed an increase in radiotracer uptake, which may help to differentiate between the two diseases.…”

Vascular leiomyosarcomas are extremely rare tumors and represent only 0.001% of all malignancies. Venous leiomyosarcomas occur five times more often than arterial ones, with 50% of them originating in the inferior vena cava (IVC). Arterial leiomyosarcomas are most commonly encountered in the great vessels with less than 50% of them occurring in the peripheral circulation. A total of only seven cases of arterial leiomyosarcomas involving the femoral artery have been reported in literature to date. We report a case of an arterial leiomyosarcoma involving the profunda femoris artery, and provide a comprehensive review on peripheral arterial leiomyosarcomas-distribution, clinical presentation, radiological and histological diagnosis, staging, and treatment.
