We present the case of a 60-year old woman with a ruptured thoraco-abdominal aortic aneurysm (TAAA). It was a Type IV TAAA in the Crawford Classification. A mycotic origin was suspected as she had a known history of lymphocytic lymphoma. She underwent thoraco-abdominal aortic replacement with a good surgical result. Histopathological examination revealed destruction of the aortic layers due to inflammatory lymphomatous aortic infiltration. The patient fully recovered.
