Abstract

Multiple pulmonary artery aneurysms are seen along with venous thrombosis in Hughes-Stovin syndrome, which many investigators believe is an incomplete form of Behcet's disease. We present a case of hemoptysis with multiple pulmonary artery aneurysms, femoral vein thrombosis, and oral ulcers with emphasis on its CT features.

Keywords: Aneurysms; hemoptysis; thrombosis; ulcers.
