A case of syphilitic aneurysm of the abdominal aorta is described. This unusual finding may be misdiagnosed as "inflammatory" abdominal aortic aneurysm, another condition associated with an intense periaortic inflammatory reaction. The authors discuss the differential diagnostic problems and the surgical technique advisable in these cases.
