Behçet's disease is a chronic, multisystem and recurrent vasculitis that can affect several organs of the body, but only rarely affects the thorax. Its main arterial involvement is represented by the aneurysm of the pulmonary artery (PA) which represents the most pejorative element for the prognosis of the disease because of cataclysmic hemoptysis that it can generate. Thoracic CT angiography is the test of choice for positive diagnosis. We report the case of a patient with bilateral pulmonary artery aneurysms during Behçet's disease, revealed by chest pain and confirmed by CT angiography.
