The arterial illness is rare in Behçet's disease (MB), it constitutes a major evolving turning point and darkens the prognosis. We report a case of Pulmonary Artery Aneurysm (PAA) in the course of Behçet’s disease that affects a 51 year old patient who consulted for haemoptysis. The chest X-ray showed a left hilar projection pulmonary opacity. The chest CT angiography showed an aneurysm of the trunk of the left pulmonary artery measuring 65 X 98 mm. Aneurysms of the pulmonary arteries constitute an infrequent illness (1-7%) in the course of Behçet's disease and typically of poor prognosis that we have to consider in the presence of evocative signs of the disease.
