We report a case of chronic-contained rupture of an infected aneurysm of the abdominal aorta, from which Listeria monocytogenes was cultured. The diagnosis of rupture and retroperitoneal mass was made by computed tomography, whereas FDG -PET diagnosed vessel wall inflammation. The infectious nature only became apparent at surgery.
