- Abstract
Pulmonary artery aneurysm associated with intracardiac thrombus is a rare complication of Behçet's disease. In this article, we report a 26-year-old male admitted with massive hemoptysis. Pulmonary computed tomography angiogram demonstrated pulmonary artery aneurysm with thrombus. Echocardiography revealed a mobile right ventricular thrombus. The patient was treated with corticosteroids, cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, and colchicine without anticoagulant therapy. During follow-up, pulmonary artery aneurysm regressed, and no bleeding or thromboembolic event was observed.
