Core Tip	Pulmonary artery sarcoma (PAS) is a rare and lethal neoplasm that is and usually diagnosed during surgery or autopsy. Early diagnosis and radical surgical resection offer the only chance for survival. However, preoperative histopathological diagnosis is quite difficult owing to the location of the tumor and its rarity. We report a 57-year-old woman patient for whom a preoperative definitive diagnosis of PAS was obtained using catheter-suction biopsy and describe how we successfully performed a curative right pneumonectomy via a median sternotomy without cardiopulmonary bypass. Eighteen months after surgery, no recurrence was observed.
