Isolated large vessel pulmonary vasculitis leading to pulmonary artery aneurysm formation: a case report and literature review

Isolated large vessel pulmonary vasculitis leading to pulmonary artery aneurysm formation: a case report and literature review

Pulmonary artery (PA) vasculitis occurs in association with primary vasculitides—in particular, giant cell arteritis, Takayasu’s arteritis, or Behçet’s disease—or secondary vasculitis as a result of infections or malignancy. However, PA vasculitis in isolation and with concomitant aneurysmal dilatio...

However, PA vasculitis in isolation and with concomitant aneurysmal dilation is an unusual finding.

This case highlights one of the first cases of PA vasculitis managed with surgical resection alone.https://doi.org/10.1177/2045894018765346
