    This case report details an unusual arterial disease with rapid clinical progression but no corresponding acute microscopic changes. The findings suggest a new syndrome of progressive occlusive thrombarteriopathy possibly linked to lifestyle factors.

    Area of Science:

    • Vascular Pathology
    • Clinical Medicine
    • Syndromic Classification

    Background:

    • Reporting a rare case of occlusive arterial disease with unclear etiology and pathogenesis.
    • Highlighting the discrepancy between acute clinical presentation and microscopic findings in affected vessels.

    Observation:

    • The patient exhibited an acute, progressive clinical course, particularly in the disease's final stages.
    • Microscopic examination of affected vessels showed an absence of corresponding acute changes.
    • Pathologic findings included thrombotic involvement of the heart and thoracic aorta, originating from small and medium-sized lower extremity vessels.

    Findings:

    • The clinical and pathological features do not align with any recognized syndromes causing arterial thrombotic occlusion.

  • The case is concluded to represent an obscure syndrome of progressive occlusive thrombarteriopathy.
  • Potential contributing factors include heavy smoking, alcoholism, and drug addiction, possibly with unrecognized increased blood coagulability.

    • Implications:

    • This case may represent a novel vascular syndrome, 'progressive occlusive thrombarteriopathy'.
    • Further research is needed to elucidate the etiology and pathogenesis of this obscure arterial disease.
    • Understanding the role of lifestyle factors and blood coagulability is crucial for diagnosis and management.
