Abstract
In this article an autopsy finding of a rare congenital anomoly is pre sented, We found only 28 cases in the literature. Four anatomic variat ions have been defined, and our case was of type II. The morphogenetic mechanism is a matter for discussion. The previous reports include in adequate pathological examinations. Our histologic findings support th e arterial nature of the aneurysmal sac.
