A Rare Cause of Chest Pain

Abstract

A patient presenting with typical chest pain with a background of ischemic heart disease often alarms one of an acute coronary syndrome but differentials should always be ruled out. We report a case of typical chest pain which was referred from a district general hospital as an acute coronary syndrome but turned out to be a pulmonary artery sarcoma. (Level of Difficulty: Intermediate.)
