Summary

Sarcoma of the pulmonary artery is a rare tumor. Only 81 cases are reported in the international literature. Leiomyosarcoma of the pulmonary artery is seen in 17% of these tumors. Most of them are not recognized during life but accidentally found at autopsy. So primary leiomyosarcoma of the pulmonary artery is a very rare tumor. We report about two new clinical cases and give a review of the literature.

Zusammenfassung

Primäre Sarkome der Arteria pulmonalis sind seltene Tumoren. In der Welt-literatur wird über insgesamt 81 Fälle berichtet. Davon sind 17% Leiomyosarkome. Die meisten dieser Tumoren werden nicht während des Lebens, sondern häufig zufällig bei der Autopsie entdeckt. Das primäre Leiomyosarkom der A. pulmonalis ist also ein ganz besonders seltener Tumor. Wir berichten über zwei klinische Fälle und geben einen Überblick über die Literatur.
