Resumen
We describe the case of a male patient with a past medical history of synovial sarcoma in the left arm. Twenty years later, the patient developed a tumoral pulmonary vein thrombus arising from a single lung metastasis. The chest X-ray, thoracic MDCT, PET-CT and radiopathologic correlation fi ndings are discussed. Percutaneous lung biopsy was performed under ultrasound guidance. Pulmonary vein invasion from a sarcoma metastasis is very rare. This case represents the fi rst described case in the literature with MDCT, PET-CT and pathologic correlation of a sarcoma lung metastasis reaching the left auricle through a pulmonary vein.
