“…14 In most subsequent reports, metastatic involvement of the aorta has been attributed to tumor emboli from the lung occurring during attempted pulmonary resection. 15,16 Cardiac myxomas are also a frequent cause of embolic metastasis, 17 but a variety of other primary malignancies have been identified including osteosarcoma, 18 malignant synovioma, 19 and melanoma. 20 The histopathologic diagnosis of primary arterial neoplasms has been largely based on light microscopy and, for this reason, has often lacked specificity.…”

Primary arterial neoplasms are rare lesions which have been most frequently associated with local or constitutional symptomatology, and with distal embolization. Perirenal aortic disruption with pseudoaneurysm formation due to an intimal sarcoma adjacent to a previously placed prosthetic graft is reported in a 66-year-old man. This case supports the premise that the presence of a vascular prosthesis might result in the induction of an arterial wall malignancy. This should be considered when an intraluminal mass is identified in the absence of other arterial pathology. Although the prognosis of these tumors is poor, their preoperative recognition may enhance treatment outcomes.

A case of primary fibrosarcoma of the thoracic aorta in a 57‐year‐old woman is reported. The clinical and pathologic features of this case are reviewed together with those of 12 cases of primary sarcoma of major systemic arteries recorded in the literature. Eight occurred in males and 5 in females. Macroscopically, the neoplasm may be polypoidal and intraluminal, intimal, or adventitial. Metastatic spread occurs with the arterial blood to sites peripheral to the primary growth, usually the lower half of the body, and the lungs are spared.
