Abstract
|
|
|
|
Undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma (UPS) arising from the descending thoracic aorta is a rare type of tumor. To our knowledge, only a few cases have been reported in the literature. We present computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging findings of a 43-year-old male patient with undifferentiated pleomorphic sarcoma of the descending thoracic aorta, which showed enhancement on only magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). MRI with contrast enhancement may be useful in differentiating an aortic tumor from atherosclerotic disease.
