More Than Just an Ulcer: A Case of HIV-Associated Iliac Aneurysms Presenting With a Leg Ulcer.

Sherif Roman1, Nader Mekheal1, Shani Tal1, Patrick Michael2.   

Abstract

The incidence of symptomatic vasculitis in human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-infected patients is approximately 1%, and it commonly presents as arterial occlusive disease or aneurysmal disease. Early diagnosis of vascular complications in those patients is essential; however, it is extremely challenging. Iliac aneurysms are usually silent, and because of their deep location, detection of these aneurysms is typically difficult. Therefore, they always continue to be asymptomatic until rupture unless they are discovered incidentally on a radiological investigation for an irrelative condition. We present the case of a 61-year-old HIV-positive man with bilateral iliac aneurysms and total coronary artery occlusion presenting with a leg ulcer.
