Imaging findings
Radiographs showed abnormalities consistent with extensive surgery. CT demonstrated extensive tumor emboli within the pulmonary vessels, described as widely distributed and larger than typically expected, in a patient with a history of metastatic chondrosarcoma.
Key takeaways
Metastatic chondrosarcoma can lead to pulmonary tumor emboli. While often small and difficult to detect, these emboli can grow in situ within the pulmonary vessels, sometimes reaching a considerable size. This case serves as a striking example of extensive tumor embolization from chondrosarcoma.
