ABSTRACT
Aortoesophageal fistula secondary to thoracic aortic aneurysm is an uncommon cause of gastrointestinal bleeding and is uniformly fatal without surgical intervention. We report a case of aortoesophageal fistula in an 83-year-old male who presented with massive hematemesis after 4 days of NSAID use. Endoscopy showed a kissing esophageal ulcer with a pulsating mass lesion in the mid esophagus. HRCT showed a fusiform aortic aneurysm in the descending aorta that was affecting the mid esophagus.
