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.
