A nondissecting aneurysm of the distal descending thoracic aorta, 55 mm in diameter, in a 35-year-old woman who was undergoing 24-year steroid therapy of systemic lupus erythematosus was successfully resected and replaced with a tube graft. The suture line of the aortic wall was reinforced with a polytetrafluoroethylene felt strip. Histologically, the media and adventitia contained numerous lymphoplasmacytic infiltrates that consisted of B and activated T cells mixed with plasmacytes. These findings would have been in accordance with active aortitis. Systemic lupus erythematosus was suggested as possibly associated with nondissecting thoracic aortic aneurysm, especially in patients undergoing chronic steroid therapy in which inflammation continued.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008180 Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow.

D013256 Steroids A group of polycyclic compounds closely related biochemically to TERPENES. They include cholesterol, numerous hormones, precursors of certain vitamins, bile acids, alcohols (STEROLS), and certain natural drugs and poisons. Steroids have a common nucleus, a fused, reduced 17-carbon atom ring system, cyclopentanoperhydrophenanthrene. Most steroids also have two methyl groups and an aliphatic side-chain attached to the nucleus. (From Hawley's Condensed Chemical Dictionary, 11th ed) Steroid,Catatoxic Steroids,Steroids, Catatoxic

D017545 Aortic Aneurysm, Thoracic An abnormal balloon- or sac-like dilatation in the wall of the THORACIC AORTA. This proximal descending portion of aorta gives rise to the visceral and the parietal branches above the aortic hiatus at the diaphragm.
