    Summary

    A rare case of thoracic aortic coarctation caused by an intraluminal calcified mass was identified in a hypertensive woman. Atherosclerotic lesions and thrombosis were found, suggesting a unique vascular condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Cardiovascular Medicine
    • Vascular Surgery
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Coarctation of the aorta typically presents as a congenital narrowing.
    • Intraluminal masses causing aortic coarctation are exceptionally rare.

    Observation:

    • A 57-year-old woman with hypertension presented with weak lower limb pulses and a thoracic systolic murmur.
    • Thoracic X-ray revealed a 10 cm narrowing of the thoracic aorta due to an intraluminal calcified mass.

    Findings:

    • Histologic examination of the resected aortic mass showed advanced atherosclerotic lesions with thrombosis.
    • The remaining aorta and its branches were anatomically normal.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights an unusual cause of acquired aortic coarctation.

  • The findings suggest a distinct pathological entity requiring further investigation and reporting.
