Abstract
We report a rare case of 4 cm true aneurysm of left axillary artery in a 3-year-old girl. Computed tomography angiography confirmed the diagnosis. Open surgical repair with resection and primary end-to-end anastomosis was performed. The patient did not have any complication after 1-year follow-up. Axillary artery aneurysm is extremely rare in pediatric population. Previous reports of this rare entity are discussed comprehensively.
