Abstract
Intimal sarcoma is a rare and aggressive vascular pathology. The literature describes about 140 cases. Because of late diagnosis, the median survival time is only a few months. Presentations vary from the localization. The most common symptoms are intravascular obstruction or embolization. Diagnosis is difficult and vascular surgeons do not know the treatment very well. We present the first case of intimal angiosarcoma of the common femoral vein presenting with a deep venous thrombosis and discuss diagnosis and therapeutic approach.
