Stanford type-A aortic dissection is a clinical emergency; mortality is high, and surgery is urgently required in most cases. Chronic forms of type-A dissection are rare and have a poor prognosis if not treated surgically. We present an unusual case of chronic type-A aortic dissection, with silent onset, in an oncologic patient without risk factors, which was managed conservatively and remained substantially stable during follow-up.
