title: Repair of ascending aortic aneurysm in a patient with fibrosarcoma over sternum.
abstract: The combination of an ascending aortic aneurysm and suprasternal soft tissue tumor is rarely reported in the literature. This case involves a 62-year-old man diagnosed with an ascending aortic aneurysm and a fibrosarcoma over the sternum that was successfully treated by surgery. The patient underwent an aortic replacement operation with a Dacron graft and a muscle flap transposition procedure to cover the defect over the sternum.
