Malignant fibrous histiocytoma of the aorta developed in a 70-year-old man
4 years after he had undergone repair of a type B aortic dissection with
Dacron graft interposition. The tumor surrounded the graft externally and
involved the adventitia of the aorta near the proximal anastomosis.
Clinically and radiologically it mimicked a pseudoaneurysm of the
descending thoracic aorta. Primary aortic sarcomas are extremely uncommon
and only rarely reported in association with prior aortic graft insertion.
