[Angiosarcoma of the aorta revealed by an intestinal metastasis].

We report a case of aortic endothelioma revealed by intestinal metastasis in a man who was admitted for severe anemia, left heart failure, and fatal ileo-mesenteric infarction. This is the 13th published case of aortic endothelioma, and the first case revealed by intestinal metastasis. It illustrates the value of the magnetic resonance imaging for the detection of an aortic tumor when intestinal angiosarcoma has been diagnosed. The surgical treatment could improve an otherwise very poor prognosis.

[Myocardial infarction and coronary artery aneurysm].

Two cases of aneurysm of the right coronary artery are reported. These atheromatous aneurysms not associated with tight coronary stenosis were responsible for myocardial infarctions treated by early intravenous thrombolysis with a resultant limited area of necrosis. According to the literature, coronary aneurysms associated with stenosis are not rare. Aneurysms not associated with significant stenosis appear to be much less common and the prognosis of patients with such lesions would not seem to be worse than that of those with neither aneurysm nor significant coronary stenosis. From a pathophysiological standpoint, the development of local thrombosis appears to play a determinant role in terms of the clinical manifestation of these aneurysms and its prevention justifies the long term combined prescription of platelet antiaggregants and oral anticoagulants.

[Angiosarcoma of the aorta disclosed by intestinal metastasis].

The authors report a case of angiosarcoma of the descending thoracic aorta presenting with a metastasis of the small intestine. This is a very rare tumour in this localisation, two cases having been described among the 28 cases of aortic tumour reported in the literature.

[Myocardial infarction with normal electrocardiogram].

These two cases concern myocardial infarcts where the electrocardiogram (ECG) was within normal limits at admission and throughout the period of hospitalisation, the diagnosis of an infarct being made secondarily on the basis of raised CPK. Both cases involved infarcts limited to the lateral wall due to occlusion of the first marginal artery of the left border. Several recent studies have evaluated the diagnostic value of the ECG in infarcts and have shown its lack of sensitivity in lateral infarcts. The resultant diagnostic difficulties may lead to delayed treatment, the consequences of which should not be capital since it has been shown that infarcts with a normal or minimally abnormal ECG at the time of admission have a favourable short term prognosis.
