Aortic intimal sarcoma: report of two cases with immunohistochemical analysis for pathogenesis

Intimal sarcomas of the aorta and iliofemoral arteries: a clinicopathological study of 26 cases

“…[1][2][3] The classification of intimal sarcomas is controversial. Arterial sarcomas are typically intraluminal, and are most frequent in the aorta, pulmonary arteries, and proximal arteries of the lower extremities.…”

Intimal Angiosarcoma from the Common Femoral Vein in a 27-Year-Old Patient

“…Pathologic findings and immunohistochemical staining are useful for a positive diagnosis. 8 Undifferentiated type of intimal sarcoma has the worst prognosis compared with other histologic types. The mitotic index and the presence of necrosis are of great interest.…”

Cardiac pleomorphic sarcoma after placement of Dacron graft

“…is case demonstrates development of a cardiac pleomorphic sarcoma, a rare tumor, after placement of a Dacron graft. Given that foreign bodies have been found to induce sarcomas in experimental animals, 3,4 and a few case reports have described sarcomas arising in association with Dacron vascular prostheses, [5][6][7][8][9][10] it seems that an exuberant host response around the foreign body might represent an important intermediate step in the development of the sarcoma.…”

“…3,4 In particular, 2 case reports have described sarcomas arising in association with Dacron vascular prostheses in humans. 5,6 We present here the case of a patient who was diagnosed with cardiac pleomorphic sarcoma 8 years after the placement of a Dacron graft.…”
