Due to their rarity, primary tumours of the pulmonary arteries are often incorrectly diagnosed as more common diseases such as pulmonary thromboembolism and are seldom diagnosed during a patient's lifetime. Surgery or potentially curative chemotherapy may therefore be withheld. We report a patient with a primary choriocarcinoma of the left pulmonary artery, which was first suspected on a CT scan. The neoplastic nature of the obstruction of the pulmonary arteries was confirmed by positron emission tomography.
