Abstract
This study presented a rare case of fast-growing multiple aneurysms. A male patient rapidly developed multiple aneurysms involving the aortic arch and the carotid, internal iliac, right femoral, and left popliteal arteries over a period of 2Â months, accompanied by fever, hyperfibrinogenemia, thrombocythemia, and folliculitis-like skin lesions. He underwent aneurysmectomy and revascularization of the left popliteal artery, stent implantation in the right superficial femoral artery, and local repair of the tibioperoneal trunk artery. An 18-month follow-up showed that his condition was controlled by anticoagulation and immunosuppressive therapy. Despite the effective treatment of his disease, the exact cause was not established.
