Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Inflammatory aneurysms are characterised by a peculiar clinical (i.e. abdominal-lumbar pain, weight loss and increased ESR) and morphological picture (whitish wall, adhesion to the surrounding organs and thickness greater than 0.5 cm). The lymphomonoplasmacellular infiltrate and the interstitial deposits of collagen define the histological picture of these lesions. The authors describe three abdominal aortic aneurysms macroscopically characterised by parietal edema, hyperemia and hypertrophy of the preaortic lymphnodes. Histological study revealed a conspicuous and widespread lymphomonoplasmacellular infiltrate and interstitial edema. The abdominal-lumbar pain, the increase in ESR and the reactive C protein defined the clinical and laboratory aspects. Serological tests for syphilis, rheumatoid arthritis and lupus erythematosis were negative. The question which arises from these observations is whether these forms represent separate entities or an early stage in the evolution of inflammatory abdominal aortic aneurysms with fibrosis. |
