Abstract
Background: Review of the first documented case of aortic wall metastasis from a limb sarcoma.
Case presentation: In a 56-year-old woman with a diagnosis of a high-grade limb fibrosarcoma, an aortic metastasis was revealed by a fast growing aneurysm of the descending thoracic aorta. This was managed with an endoprosthesis.
Conclusion: The presence of an aneurysm in a patient with a sarcoma with a high potential for metastasis and poor cardiovascular risk factors should alert physicians.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Sarcoma Research considers for publication articles related to research on sarcomas, including both soft tissue and bone. The journal publishes original articles and review articles on the diagnosis and treatment of sarcomas along with new insights in sarcoma research, which may be of immediate or future interest for diagnosis and treatment. The journal also considers negative results, especially those from studies on new agents, as it is vital for the medical community to learn whether new agents have been proven effective or ineffective within subtypes of sarcomas. The journal also aims to offer a forum for active discussion on topics of major interest for the sarcoma community, which may be related to both research results and methodological topics.
