Computed Tomography of Bronchial Artery Aneurysm with Erosion into the Esophagus

Abstract

Bronchial artery aneurysms are rare lesions. A case report is presented in which CT demonstrated a 7 cm enhancing mass that proved to be a mediastinal bronchial artery aneurysm. The aneurysm subsequently eroded into the esophagus, resulting in fatal exsanguination.
