Abstract
A case of dissecting aneurysm of the thoracic aorta is presented. Leakage from the aorta formed an extrapleural hematoma. This hematoma appeared as a round mass with a well-delineated border on chest x-ray examination. The value of this x-ray finding in the diagnosis of dissecting thoracic aorta is emphasized.
