Key result
Surgical resection treats total distal abdominal aortic occlusion caused by a rare primary leiomyosarcoma.
Why the study?
Primary malignancies of the aorta are extremely rare, with variable histologic and morphologic characteristics and only 35 documented cases reported over the past 120 years.

Case Report (n=1)
Primary leiomyosarcoma of the abdominal aorta is an extremely rare malignancy that can present with progressive claudication and total aortic occlusion.
Malone et al. (1996) conducted a case report in Primary leiomyosarcoma of the abdominal aorta (n=1). Surgical exploration and resection was evaluated. Surgical exploration and resection were performed for a rare primary leiomyosarcoma of the abdominal aorta presenting as total occlusion of the distal abdominal aorta in a middle-aged woman.
