  • Title: [A rare case of rupture of a syphilitic aortic aneurysm into the esophagus].
    Author: Zagrebin VM, Fomin SD.
    Journal: Ter Arkh; 1988; 60(10):70-1. PubMed ID: 3265546.
    Abstract:
    A case of the rupture of a syphilitic aortic aneurysm into the esophagus in a woman aged 64 with cured breast cancer was observed. A clinical picture, autopsy and microscopy findings were described. The authors underlined the rarity of the case, difficulty of intravital and morphological diagnosis which could be attributed to syphilis pathomorphosis. Of great importance for diagnosis are a detailed life history, clinical symptoms, instrumental methods of investigation, especially in oncological practice where differential diagnosis with exophytic esophageal cancer seems difficult.
