We report a case of 14-year-old woman of fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) with involvement of the thoracic aorta. Our case is characterized by a segmental stenosis of the thoracic aorta with multiple systemic arterial branch lesions. Atypical coarctation of the thoracic aorta was replaced with Dacron woven graft and the specimen of the lesion demonstrated medial fibroplasia. There have been reported only 9 cases of FMD of the aorta so far and all were female except one case. This report is the first case report of FMD of the thoracic aorta.

D005352 Fibromuscular Dysplasia An idiopathic, segmental, nonatheromatous disease of the musculature of arterial walls, leading to STENOSIS of small and medium-sized arteries. There is true proliferation of SMOOTH MUSCLE CELLS and fibrous tissue. Fibromuscular dysplasia lesions are smooth stenosis and occur most often in the renal and carotid arteries. They may also occur in other peripheral arteries of the extremity.

D001017 Aortic Coarctation A birth defect characterized by the narrowing of the AORTA that can be of varying degree and at any point from the transverse arch to the iliac bifurcation. Aortic coarctation causes arterial HYPERTENSION before the point of narrowing and arterial HYPOTENSION beyond the narrowed portion.
