Fig. 1A. 29-year-old woman with metastatic osteogenic sarcoma that caused
pulmonary venous thrombosis and infarction. CT scan shows calcified right
lower lobe lesion with nodular soft-tissue density extending toward heart.
Fig. 1B. 29-year-old woman with metastatic osteogenic sarcoma that caused
pulmonary venous thrombosis and infarction. CT scan at level immediately above
A shows dense calcification in mass. Note soft tissue that fills and
expands right inferior pulmonary vein and extends into left atrium
(arrow).
Fig. 1C. 29-year-old woman with metastatic osteogenic sarcoma that caused
pulmonary venous thrombosis and infarction. CT scan through lung bases
photographed at lung windows shows two areas of consolidation within periphery
of right costophrenic sulcus. Note associated pleural effusion representing
pulmonary infarcts.
Fig. 1D. 29-year-old woman with metastatic osteogenic sarcoma that caused
pulmonary venous thrombosis and infarction. Axial T1-weighted spin-echo MR
image reveals low-signal-intensity filling defect (arrow) in right
inferior pulmonary vein that extends into left atrium.
