Sarcomas of the aorta are rare tumors with an unknown incidence and wide variety of clinical presentations. These malignant neoplasms are often manifested in an advanced state and with symptoms of nonmalignant vascular disease owing to a delay in diagnosis. We present the case of a 78-year-old man in whom workup was initially performed for a persistently enlarging abdominal aortic aneurysm after endovascular aortic repair but who was subsequently found to have a pleomorphic undifferentiated sarcoma of the aorta.
主动脉肉瘤是罕见肿瘤,发病率未知,临床表现多样。这些恶性肿瘤常因诊断延迟而在晚期出现,并伴有非恶性血管疾病的症状。我们报告一例78岁男性患者,最初因血管腔内主动脉修复术后腹主动脉瘤持续增大而进行检查,随后发现患有主动脉多形性未分化肉瘤。
