Takayasu’s arteritis is a rare form of chronic systemic vasculitis. It predominantly affects young adults, women in particular. We report an unusual case of Takayasu’s arteritis with pulmonary involvement in a 47-year-old male patient with diabetic foot ulcers. Patient was admitted to the hospital with high blood sugar, unhealed foot ulcers, weakness and weight loss. He developed sudden dyspnea during the treatment. The diagnosis of Takayasu’s arteritis was made using physical examination and computed tomography angiography.
