Abstract
An autopsy case of penetrating atheromatous ulcer of the ascending thoracic aorta is presented. The triplet imaging findings of mediastinal dilatation, interstitial pulmonary hemorrhage and pericardial effusion were diagnostic for penetrating atheromatous ulcer at the posterior wall of the ascending thoracic aorta. Immediate surgical treatment is indicated when these three findings emerge during examination.Entities:
