“…[4][5][6] Large vessel intimal sarcomas tend to occur in the elderly with a history of peripheral vascular disease, and usually present with advanced disease with an aggressive course. 5 Many are centrally located, and can present as a symptomatic thoracic aneurysm, 8 or with dyspnea, 9 sudden death, 10 or distal embolization. 1,4,11 Aortic intimal sarcomas have also been reported at the site of prior vascular anastomoses.…”

Sarcomas of the large vessels usually present centrally in the aorta, pulmonary artery, and inferior vena cava. Peripheral arterial sarcomas are exceptionally rare. They have been reported in the iliac and common or profunda femoral arteries, and are frequently undifferentiated. In this study, we describe a differentiated intimal sarcoma of the superficial femoral artery with abundant osteosarcoma within the specimen. Before knowing the diagnosis, treatment was for a presumed pseudoaneurysm using excision and bypass. Postoperatively, the patient received palliative radiation therapy. The tumor's location and histopathology are unique. A differentiated intimal sarcoma has never been reported in the superficial femoral artery, and it represents the second peripheral arterial intimal sarcoma reported with osteosarcomatous differentiation.

“…El diagnóstico imagenológico con Angio-CT es sumamente difícil, por su similitud a la imagen de un trombo 14 , siendo de gran utilidad el PET-CT, el cual puede revelar un incremento en la captación de FDG en la arteria afectada 15 . Existen al menos 3 casos descritos en el cual el FAP se presenta simulando un aneurisma de la arteria [16][17][18] , situación que puede dificultar aun más la sospecha diagnóstica, como ocurrió en el caso descrito. El tratamiento se basa en la cirugía, ya sea endarterectomía, resección parcial o total de la arteria pulmonar, asociado generalmente a quimioterapia, considerando la importante frecuencia de embolización a distal 1,10,11 .…”
