Almajan A, Parveen P, Saraceni C. Primary angiosarcoma of the aorta in association with an endurant stent graft. J Case Rep Images Oncology 2021;7:100075Z10AA2021.ABSTRACT
Introduction: Angiosarcomas are extremely rare tumors, especially those arising in the aorta.
Case Report: We uniquely present a case where primary aortic angiosarcoma was found in a 68-year-old woman in association with an Endurant stent graft.
Conclusion: Only a handful of cases have shown an association between the development of primary angiosarcoma and other endovascular grafts, such as a Dacron stent graft. However, this may be the first case to report an association with an endurant stent graft.
Keywords: Angiosarcoma, Aorta, Endurant, Graft, Stent
