Abstract

Erdheim-Chester disease (ECD), known as histiocytic neoplastic disease, can be diagnosed as a peripheral arterial disease because of its effects on vascular structures. Aortic involvement in ECD is usually recognised radiologically. However, there is insufficient information about the surgical appearance and treatment of aortic involvement in ECD. In this report, we presented a patient with ascending aortic involvement detected incidentally during coronary bypass and a patient with abdominal aortic involvement mimicking aortoiliac disease.
