Angiosarcoma is a rare disease associated with significant morbidity and mortality. When localized in the pulmonary arteries, this disease can mimic pulmonary embolism in both clinical and radiologic presentation, delaying proper therapy. The aim of this exhibit is to demonstrate the role of CT, MRI, and PET imaging to distinguish these disease entities, as well as describe the role that interventional radiology can play in the palliative care of these patients. This review will increase radiologist's awareness of the common imaging findings of pulmonary artery angiosarcoma as well as their potential role in these patients' care.

a. Brief overview of pathophysiology of angiosarcoma b. Overview of the imaging of findings of CT, MRI, and PET with multiple case examples c. Description of the palliative measures interventional radiology can offer to these patients with case examples
