Delayed Presentation of Non-traumatic Bilateral Leg Pseudoaneurysms Mimicking Soft-Tissue Sarcoma - A Case Report

J Orthop Case Rep. 2022 Dec;12(12):82-85. doi: 10.13107/jocr.2022.v12.i12.3474.

Abstract

Introduction: Non-traumatic pseudoaneurysms are very rare but should be considered as a differential diagnosis on patients presenting with a thigh mass.

Case report: We present an extremely unusual case of a 70-year-old patient who presented with clinical features of a soft-tissue sarcoma of the thigh that instead was proven to be a non-traumatic pseudoaneurysm. There was also incidental finding of bilateral leg non-traumatic pseudoaneurysms.

Conclusion: Medical practitioners must consider the possibility of non-traumatic pseudoaneurysm in patients that present with a thigh mass.

Keywords: Pseudoaneurysm; non-traumatic; sarcoma; thigh.
