Key result
Surgical resection was successfully performed to treat a floating tumor of the aortic arch in a 62-year-old woman presenting with cerebrovascular ischemia and right-sided hemiparesis.
Why the study?
Neoplasms of the aortic arch are rare tumors presenting a diagnostic challenge, whether benign or malignant.
Case Report (n=1)
Surgical resection is an effective treatment for rare floating tumors of the aortic arch, which often present with peripheral arterial embolism.

May support resection for rare embolic aortic arch masses; leaves open optimal management strategies.
BACKGROUND: Neoplasms of the aortic arch are rare tumors presenting a diagnostic challenge, regardless of whether they are benign or malignant. The most effective treatment method is surgical resection of the tumor. CASE PRESENTATION: This case presents a 62-year-old woman with cerebrovascular ischemia and right-sided hemiparesis. Further medical treatment showed a CT scan of a floating mass in the aortic arch. The patient underwent surgery after the initial diagnosis. CONCLUSION: In most patients, these types of tumors are detected after a peripheral arterial embolism. Surgical resection of the tumor is the most effective treatment method. The symptoms and presentation of this patient can be beneficial for future diagnosis of this type of tumor.
