Popis: Takayasu arteritis (TA) is a large vessel vasculitis especially seen in young women. Because of nonspecific symptoms diagnois is difficult and confused with other diseases. Delayed treatment increase morbidity and mortality. It effects primarly pulmonary artery in lung involvement. To our knowledge endobronchial involvement has not been reported previously in the literature. Due to rarity we present our patient whom we observed with the diagnosis of endobronchial tuberculosis and confirmed the diagnosis of Takayasu arteritis after 9 months.
