Abstract
Aneurysm of thoracic aorta may mimic cystic lesions like bronchogenic cyst or hydatid cyst. We report a case of chronic post traumatic thoracic aortic aneurysm in a young lady, initially diagnosed as benign cystic lesion. MRI scan of chest confirmed the diagnosis and subsequently surgical removal of aneurysm was done.
