Although extremely rare, the group of primary malignant tumors of the aorta (PMTA) exhibits enormous histologic heterogeneity. In most cases, diagnosis is established late in the course of the disease; the median survival time is only a few months. We present the case of a 75-year-old patient with an intimal angiosarcoma of the infrarenal abdominal aorta and discuss the clinical presentation, histopathologic diagnosis, and classification of primary aortic sarcomas. A critical review of the diagnostic and therapeutic management in this case revealed that the atypical aortic thrombus should have prompted a comprehensive preoperative diagnostic work-up, specifically with magnetic resonance tomography of the aorta and bone scintigraphy.
