Popis:	Rasmussen's aneurysm is a rare complication of pulmonary tuberculosis. Often the aneurysm ruptures in the bronchial tree causing massive hemoptysis resulting in death. We are reporting a case of partially thrombosed giant Rasmussen's aneurysm which arose in the vicinity of a tuberculous cavity along with empyema necessitans. Unfortunately the patient died of massive hemoptysis within two days of his diagnosis.
