A desmoid tumor recurrence was suspected but a venous graft pseudoaneurysm was diagnosed. Computed tomography imaging correctly identified this rare complication after tumor resection.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Vascular Surgery
  • Radiology

Background:

  • Desmoid tumors are rare, locally invasive soft tissue neoplasms with a high recurrence rate.
  • Surgical resection is a primary treatment modality for desmoid tumors.
  • Venous grafts may be used during tumor resection to reconstruct vascular structures.

Observation:

  • A patient presented with suspected recurrence of a supraclavicular desmoid tumor resected two years prior.
  • Clinical and radiological evaluation was performed to assess the suspected tumor recurrence.
  • Computed tomography (CT) imaging was utilized for diagnostic purposes.

Findings:

  • CT imaging revealed a pseudoaneurysm of a venous graft, not a desmoid tumor recurrence.
  • The pseudoaneurysm was located at the site of the previous surgical intervention.

  • This finding highlights a potential complication following vascular reconstruction during tumor resection.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of considering vascular complications, such as pseudoaneurysms, in the differential diagnosis of suspected tumor recurrence.
    • Accurate radiological diagnosis is crucial to guide appropriate management and avoid unnecessary interventions.
    • Awareness of pseudoaneurysm formation after venous grafting in oncologic surgery is essential for patient care.
