Abstract
Relatamos o caso de uma paciente idosa avaliada por apresentar dispneia e dor na borda costal direita, em que a radiografia de tórax demonstrou opacidade simulando lesão pulmonar e a tomografia computadorizada revelou ser de origem vascular. A síndrome aórtica aguda por ulceração de placa ateromatosa, penetrando através da lâmina elástica, associada a hematoma aórtico e aneurisma constitui importante diagnóstico diferencial nesses casos.
