Abstract
Primary pulmonary myxoid sarcoma (PPMS) is a very rare lung cancer. The exact mechanisms of PPMS are still unknown, possibly derived from mesenchymal cells. We report 4-year outcomes of a case with PPMS in the left upper lobe. A 30-year-old man who complained of phlegm cough. In March 2014, CT showed a mass measuring 27 × 29mm in the central left upper lobe. The patient underwent CT-guided percutaneous transthoracic needle biopsy of the tumor, which showed necrotic and inflammatory changes and the patient received no treatment. After one year, the tumor almost doubled in size (45 × 53mm) on chest CT. The tumor with the left upper lobe was surgically removed. Subsequent immunohistochemistry analysis of the sample confirmed the diagnosis of PPMS. Postoperative follow-up showed no sign of recurrence up to 4 years
