Leiomyosarcoma of the pulmonary artery

J Eng and AJ Murday
Department of Cardiothoracic Surgery, Leeds General Infirmary, England.

With radical radiotherapy to the mediastinum and solitary right hip metastasis, the patient remained well 6 months later. The difficulty of accurate diagnosis is considered in the light of recent advances in the techniques of cardiac investigation.
