Area of Science:

  • Cardiovascular Pathology
  • Surgical Oncology
  • Medical Imaging

Background:

  • Aortic sarcoma is a rare and aggressive malignancy originating from the aorta.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment are challenging due to nonspecific symptoms and location.

Observation:

  • A 54-year-old woman presented with prolonged fever and fatigue.
  • Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) revealed a tumor in the aortic arch.
  • Surgical intervention involved total aortic arch replacement.

Findings:

  • Histopathological diagnosis confirmed a malignant mesenchymal tumor, specifically aortic intimal sarcoma.
  • The sarcoma extensively invaded the aortic wall, valves, and coronary arteries.
  • Complete obstruction of the left main coronary artery by tumor thrombus led to fatal acute myocardial infarction.

Implications:

  • This case highlights the critical role of autopsy in understanding rare cardiovascular malignancies.
  • Aortic intimal sarcoma poses a significant risk of coronary artery involvement and myocardial infarction.
  • Further research is needed to improve diagnostic strategies and therapeutic outcomes for aortic sarcomas.
