abstract = {A 57-year-old male presented with progressive exertional dyspnea, cough, and hemoptysis. He underwent a chest computed tomography (CT) that demonstrated a 27 cm × 20 cm right chest mass that was causing a local mass effect. Pertinent history revealed that the patient had suffered a severe chest trauma from a MVA in 1981. The patient underwent workup including: needle localized biopsy, bronchoscopy and endoscopic biopsy. There was considerable concern for a malignant process and a subsequent right pneumonectomy with en bloc resection of the chest wall and diaphragm was performed. The final pathology concluded the mass to be a large pseudoaneurysm. Pseudoaneurysms after traumas are extremely rare, especially blunt trauma, and should be considered once other etiologies have been excluded.},
