چکیده
BACKGROUND Pseudoaneurysm of the aortic arch is uncommonly associated with cancer, and is extremely rare in pulmonary cancer. Here, we report an unusual and successfully treated case of aortic arch pseudoaneurysm in a male patient with lung squamous cell carcinoma. METHODS A 64-year-old male patient was admitted to the Emergency Department, presenting with massive hemoptysis (>500 mL blood during the 12 hours prior to treatment). The diagnosis of aortic arch pseudoaneurysm was confirmed after inspection of computed tomographic angiography and three-dimensional reconstruction. We processed the immediate endovascular stent-grafting for this patient. RESULTS This patient recovered with no filling or enlargement of the pseudoaneurysm, no episodes of hemoptysis, and no neurological complications during the 4-week follow-up period. CONCLUSION Herein, we compare our case with other cancer-related pseudoaneurysms in the medical literature and summarize the clinical features and treatment of this unusual case.

We herein report a case of rapidly growing pseudoaneurysm developed shortly after a diagnosis of aortic arch periaortitis. Pseudoaneurysm is a blood leak constrained by compliance of perivascular tissues, in persistent communication with the feeding artery. Chronic periaortitis is characterized by inflammatory involvement of the outer layer of the aorta and surrounding tissues. The major pathog...
