A 24-year-old patient presented with hemoptysis. Pulmonary evaluation was unrevealing. After being lost to follow-up, he again presented with worsening symptoms and physical findings of severe pulmonary hypertension. A large left atrial mass was found on echocardiogram. This was subsequently found to be a malignant fibrous histiocytoma. He also had pseudothrombocytopenia due to platelet cold agglutinins. Left atrial masses must be considered in unexplained hemoptysis.

Primary sarcoma of pulmonary artery is a rare tumor. A 46-year-old man was hospitalized because of dyspnea and hemoptysis. Pulmonary thromboembolism was suspected by chest X-ray, scintigraphy, and CT. But the mass had a to-and-fro movement above the pulmonary valve on pulmonary arterial cineangiography. We strongly suspected that it was primary neoplasm of pulmonary artery. The pulmonary artery was opened under cardiopulmonary bypass. The tumor arised pulmonary trunk and extended peripherally. The tumor was surgically removed as complete as possible, though a proxymal balloon embolectomy was unsuccessful. The histological finding was malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the pulmonary artery.

A 35-year-old woman presented with 4 months history of progressively increasing intermittent dyspnea and hemoptysis. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed a loculated mass in the left atrium (LA). A provisional diagnosis of LA myxoma was made. Intraoperatively the tumor was found extending into and closely adherent to the left pulmonary vein and could not be completely cleared off from the pulmonary venous wall. The histopathological examination of the tumor revealed it to be a myxoid malignant fibrous histiocytoma.
