2 Figure 1 Preoperative imaging. A, Chest roentgenography showing a high-density mass at the left thoracic cavity with tracheal deviation. B, Contrast-enhanced 64-row multidetector computed tomography of the chest revealing a soft-tissue mass in the left mediastinum, embedded in the immediate right side of the aortic arch, next to the left subclavian artery, with an irregular border, accompanied by compression of the trachea and esophagus. C, Contrast-enhanced magnetic resonance angiography demonstrating a multilobulated mass. D, Angiography revealing an irregular aortic wall lumen without obvious aneurysm.

3 Figure 2 Intraoperative photographs. A, Intraoperatively, the presumed tumor was seen to arise from the aorta, and the diagnosis of aortic aneurysm was made once it was opened. B, The proximal descending aorta was replaced with a Dacron polyester fabric graft.
