摘　　要：Pulmonary tumor embolisms due to renal cell carcinoma are common. In contrast, intra-operative puhnonary artery embolisms due to the release of large tumor fragments during surgery for retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma have not been reported. When a massive tumor embolus does occur, a patient＇s survival depends on prompt surgical intervention.2 In this report, a patient experienced a pulmonary tumor embolism during resection of a retroperitoneal leiomyosarcoma, and the condition was successfully treated. However, for the hemodynamic collapse that occurred, a puhnonary arteriography was followed by an emergency puhnonary embolectomy with cardiopulmonary bypass.Pulmonary tumor embolisms due to renal cell carcinoma are common.
