Primary pulmonary artery sarcoma treated with simultaneous pulmonary valve replacement, artificial vessel replacement, and total right pneumonectomy: a case report
In the present case, postoperative recurrence was observed despite maximal resection of the surrounding tissues with tumor invasion and simultaneous reconstruction. Chemotherapy was initiated but was ineffective. Gene panel testing can help identify novel treatment options for patients with neoplastic diseases without standardized treatment. In addition, preparations should be made before surgery.
