Article Title: Primary sarcoma of the superior pulmonary vein
Abstract: A case of a primary sarcoma of the right superior pulmonary vein is described. To the best of the authors' knowledge, this is the first report of successful surgical management of this unusual tumor. The tumor was confined to the superior pulmonary vein and the presentation was that of a hilar mass, assumed to be a bronchogenic carcinoma. Unlike previously reported cases, there was no clinical evidence of left atrial obstruction. The management of the case is discussed, and a review of the pertinent literature is presented.
