Abstract

We present a 67 year old male patient who underwent VATS right upper lobectomy with en bloc chest wall resection and right lower lobe superior segmentectomy for atypical Ewing Sarcoma. Serial chest CT scan done more than two years after the initial resection showed a new filling defect in the right upper pulmonary artery stump. A repeat chest CT scan after three months of oral anticoagulation showed complete resolution of the filling defect.
