Summary
Aortic arch tumors are rare and challenging to diagnose. Surgical resection is the most effective treatment, and this case highlights key diagnostic indicators for future cases.
Area of Science:
- Cardiovascular Surgery
- Oncology
- Diagnostic Imaging
Background:
- Aortic arch neoplasms, both benign and malignant, are uncommon and pose diagnostic difficulties.
- Surgical resection remains the primary treatment modality for these rare tumors.
Observation:
- A 62-year-old female presented with symptoms of cerebrovascular ischemia and right-sided hemiparesis.
- Computed tomography (CT) revealed a mobile mass within the aortic arch.
Findings:
- The patient underwent surgical intervention following the diagnosis of an aortic arch mass.
- Aortic arch tumors are frequently diagnosed secondary to peripheral arterial embolism.
Implications:
- This case presentation offers valuable insights for the future diagnosis of aortic arch neoplasms.
- Early recognition of symptoms associated with aortic arch masses can improve patient outcomes.
