Bronchial artery aneurysm (BAA) is a rare entity with potentially fatal hemorrhagic complications. It is usually diagnosed using a computed tomography scan or angiography in emergency situations (clinical picture of aortic dissection or massive hemoptysis). We report a case of bronchial artery aneurysm where dysphagia was the predominant symptom. Thoracic computed tomography and endoscopic ultrasound seemed to indicate leiomyoma of the esophagus. The final diagnosis revealed a bronchial artery aneurysm.
