“…Although intra-aortic biopsy is possible, 12 these tumors are rarely expected or even diagnosed before surgical exploration. Intraoperatively, the diagnosis can be made if unusual thrombus is sent for a frozen section (eg, as in our case 2, it should have been done); however, this has been described rarely.…”

“…3 Intra-arterial biopsy remains anecdotal and carries a risk of tumor embolism. 7 In our case, intra-arterial biopsy was adequate to make a pathologic diagnosis and was only undertaken once the histologic diagnosis of the metastatic brain lesion was established.…”

Aortic sarcoma is a rare vascular malignancy. We report a case of primary aortic myxofibrosarcoma mimicking thrombus. This neoplasm demonstrated no contrast enhancement on computed tomography or magnetic resonance imaging and was clinically suspected to represent a large thrombus, although aortic primary neoplasm was considered in the differential diagnosis on the basis of imaging. Biopsies of the aortic lesion and a concurrent brain lesion were consistent with the diagnosis of aortic myxofibrosarcoma with brain metastasis. This report highlights overlapping imaging features between primary aortic sarcoma and vascular thrombus and the importance of considering neoplastic conditions in the differential diagnosis of large intravascular soft tissue lesions.

“…Intra-arterial biopsy was seldom made for the potential embolic complication. Ronaghi et al (12) reported a primary aortic tumor through intra-aortic biopsy by using a 5.4-F biopsy forceps device. In this case, the specimens were sucked out through the sheath without the use of biopsy forceps.…”
