  • Title: Obstruction of the abdominal aorta by a primary retroperitoneal tumor.
    Author: Perry PE, Gerlock AJ, Hough AJ, Glick AD.
    Journal: South Med J; 1979 Feb; 72(2):228-31. PubMed ID: 218312.
    Abstract:
    An angiographically demonstrated case of total occlusion of the abdominal aorta by a malignant retroperitoneal tumor is presented. Surgical exploration revealed a diffuse tumor of the retroperitoneum involving the wall and lumen of the abdominal aorta and vena cava, respectively. Histologic and ultrastructural evaluation of the tumor established a diagnosis of malignant fibrous histiocytoma. Total occlusion of the abdominal aorta thus represents another angiographic finding in retroperitoneal tumors.
