Primary aortic tumors are well known for both their rarity and variability in clinical presentation and usually are diagnosized post-operatively or by post-mortem examination. Intimal sarcoma is a recurrent histological variant and the involvement of the thoracic aorta is an unusual presentation. Angiography and computed tomography are accurate methods to evaluate aortic tumors though transesophageal echocardiography is actually used for the differential diagnosis. Here, we describe an unusual intimal sarcoma of the thoracic aorta whose clinical feature strongly mimicked a diffuse thrombotic disease.
