Ann Vasc Surg. 2021 May:73:525-528. doi: 10.1016/j.avsg.2020.12.011. Epub 2021 Jan 24.

Abstract

Primary tumors originating within the wall of the arteries are rare and they frequently manifest late, making effective treatment a challenge. We describe here a case of Abdominal Aorta AngioSarcoma masqueraded as an infected EndoVascular Aortic Repair. The knowledge of this pathology from vascular surgeons and radiologist is crucial, because a prompt diagnosis and treatment can improve the prognosis.
