Abstract
Primary angiosarcoma of the aorta is a rare disease. The prognosis is poor, resulting of embolic complications and early metastatic disease, with a median survival of nine months. Diagnosis is difficult and often made post-mortem. We report the case of a 68-year-old woman referred for a thrombosis of the superior mesenteric artery, occurring a few weeks after resection of an angiosarcoma of the small intestine, disclosing a primary angiosarcoma of the aortic wall with metastatic disease.
