{Abstract}: <B>UNASSIGNED: </B>In suspected cases of systemic vasculitis, imaging studies should include the pulmonary artery. This is a rare case of Takayasu arteritis with a large pulmonary aneurysm. Medical management is the first line and vascular intervention if fails prior.<BR><B>UNASSIGNED: </B>Takayasu arteritis (TA) should be suspected in young women presented with hypertension, carotidynia, and claudications. Pulmonary artery involvement is frequent, occurring in 20%-50% of patients with TA. However, this case highlights the rare presentation of TA with a large pulmonary aneurysm and minimal aortic involvement. Medical management including immunosuppressive agents and biological therapies remains an important role, with vascular intervention remains as an option if medical therapy failed.
