1 Pulmonary Artery Leiomyosarcoma Expressing Epstein-Barr Virus in an Immunocompetent Individual 
Sana Yokoi, MD, PhD, Toshihiko Iizasa, MD, PhD, Kenzo Hiroshima, MD, PhD, Yukio Saitoh, MD, PhD, Takehiko Fujisawa, MD, PhD  The Annals of Thoracic Surgery  Volume 81, Issue 5, Pages (May 2006) DOI: /j.athoracsur Copyright © 2006 The Society of Thoracic Surgeons Terms and Conditions

2 Fig 1 (A) Computed tomographic scan showed a right central pulmonary artery obstruction with extension to the pulmonary trunk by an inhomogeneous tumor, and (B) multiple sphenoid nodules in subpleural regions of the middle and lower lobe of the right lung.

3 Fig 2 Results of polymerase chain reaction amplification of a 140 base pair product derived from the BamH I W fragment of Epstein-Barr virus performed on 5 DNA samples by agarose gel electrophoresis. Samples were derived from resected tumor (lane 1) and normal lung tissue (lane 2) from the patient presented in this report, pulmonary artery leiomyosarcoma (lane 3) and normal lung tissue (lane 4) from an autopsy sample from a different patient, another pulmonary artery leiomyosarcoma autopsy from a different patient (lane 5), and the Raji cell line as a positive control (lane 6). The primers W-1 (5’-GTTCGCGTTGCTAGGCCACC-3’) and W-2b (5’-TGGCGCTCTGATGCGACCAG-3’) were used from previously reported conditions (40 cycles, annealing at 57°C for 2 minutes) [2].
