    Abstract:
    Tuberculous aneurysms of the common iliac artery are rare. Only a few cases have been reported in the literature. We report a new case in a 47-year-old man admitted for abdominal pain and persistent fever. The aneurysm was evoked in the duplex ultrasound scan and confirmed by computed tomographic angiography. The patient underwent an extra-anatomic femorofemoral bypass with a dacron prosthesis and ligation of the aneurysmal artery. The postoperative course was marked by febrile dyspnea related to the tuberculous miliary found on the chest x-ray. Histological analysis of the operative specimens confirmed the tuberculous origin of the aneurysm. The patient was put on antituberculous drugs and the follow-up was uneventful. With a follow-up of four months, the patient was asymptomatic and the bypass was well patent.
