  • Title: Rupture of thoracic aorta caused by penetrating aortic ulcer.
    Author: Ando Y, Minami H, Muramoto H, Narita M, Sakai S.
    Journal: Chest; 1994 Aug; 106(2):624-6. PubMed ID: 7774356.
    Abstract:
    We present the findings in a 57-year-old man with a rupture of the thoracic aorta that originated in a penetrating atherosclerotic aortic ulcer. It formed a large hematoma that clinically mimicked a true saccular thoracic aneurysm. The possibility of penetrating aortic ulcer should be considered in the differential diagnosis of aortic aneurysm.
