title: [Aneurysm of the hepatic artery. Report of a case].
abstract: Hepatic artery aneurysms are considered a rare event even though their report in the literature are becoming more and more frequent. A case of a 50-year-old man with common hepatic artery arterial aneurysm is reported. Initially, aspecific upper abdominal symptoms were found, but the great improvement in the diagnosis of vascular disease allows us to recognize this pathology which has a high risk of rupture so that an aggressive treatment is required.
