“…Even though the growth rate of the tumor was so rapid, we can rule out a primary malignant tumor of the aorta (PMTA), since it is extremely rare and there are no reports that show global calcification on PMTA. 7 Differentiation of a primary benign tumor of the aorta, especially myxoma, seems to be much more difficult because some reports show both an aortic myxomatous tumor 8 and calcification of intracardiac myxoma. 9 These reports may imply the possibility of calcified myxoma in the aorta, but the surgical strategy for resection does not seem to differ for either tumor type.…”

“…Most of the primary malignant tumors are sarcomas originating in the three arterial layers of the aorta, with 11% located in the aortic arch and 35% located in the descending thoracic aorta. There have been rare reports of benign primary aortic tumors, including aortic myxomas 4 . We decided to treat our patient with anti‐coagulant therapy given the presence of some cardiovascular risk factors and the absence of other systemic symptoms.…”

Aortic Tumor or Mobile Thrombus?

et al. 2010

Isolated large mobile mass in the thoracic aorta can be due to thrombus or, rarely, aortic tumor. We report the case of a 61-year-old man with no history of medical problems presenting with neurologic deficits and in whom a large mobile echogenic mass in the distal aortic arch was found with transesophageal echocardiography. Given his few cardiovascular risk factors and absence of other systemic symptoms, he received anticoagulant therapy. Subsequent resolution of the aortic mass suggested a diagnosis of thrombus. This case illustrates an unusual manifestation of aortic arch atherosclerosis and underscores the utility of transesophogeal echocardiography for patients with ischemic stroke.

“…Primary aortic wall tumors are very rare and consist mainly of malignant tumors. 1 Papillary fibroelastomas (PFEs) are benign neoformations usually originating from the valvular endocardium, consisting of non-vascularized papillary tissue surrounded by an endothelium layer. 2 The localization of PFE on the aortic wall is extremely rare.…”
