ABSTRACT
A 28-year-old man was admitted due to abdominal pain and nausea. The patient had been diagnosed with peritoneal tuberculosis and was being treated with anti-tuberculous drugs. After 7 months of therapy, he developed abdominal pain, nausea, and melena. Gastrofiberscopy showed a duodenal ulcer and fistular opening. Abdominal CT revealed an aneurysm of the replaced hepatic artery due to abdominal tuberculous lymphadenopathy. After embolization of the aneurysm, his symptoms improved. Although mycotic aneurysm occurs rarely as a complication of tuberculous lymphadenopathy, it should be diagnosed as early as possible because of the high rate of rupture and associated high mortality.
