Coronary artery aneurysms in patients with Behcet’s disease are rare. Giant aneurysms defined as greater than 2 cm are exceptional. We are reporting a rare case of a 33-year-old man with Behcet’s disease, admitted for chest pain, whose coronary angiogram revealed a huge aneurysm involving the proximal segment of proximal left anterior descending artery followed by a severe stenosis. The aneurysm was successfully resected and an arterial coronary bypass was performed. The patient was asymptomatic in the postoperative period.
