An elderly man with tuberculous aortitis presented with massive gastrointes tinal bleeding resulting from an aortoduodenal fistula. Aortic resection was suc cessful, and he has done well over a 12 year period. The organism was recovered from the aorta and also seen on section of the neighboring lymph nodes. Although tuberculous aortitis is rare, it should be considered in a patient with a prior history of tuberculosis who has developed evidence of aortic dis ease, aneurysm, or massive gastrointestinal bleeding.
