Fibromuscular Dysplasia in a Young Man

Key Points

Fibromuscular dysplasia was diagnosed in a 42-year-old man with atypical vascular issues.
Presenting symptoms included superficial femoral artery occlusion and tortuous coronary arteries.
Histopathology confirmed the diagnosis, emphasizing the need for awareness of FMD in young males.
Multimodal imaging and biopsy were vital for accurate diagnosis in this unusual case.

Abstract

Fibromuscular dysplasia (FMD) is a noninflammatory vascular disease that predominantly affects women. A 42-year-old man with progressive claudication presented with superficial femoral artery occlusion, tortuous coronary arteries, and radial artery involvement. Histopathology confirmed FMD despite atypical sex and vascular distribution. FMD must be considered in young men with nonatherosclerotic vascular disease. Multimodal imaging and biopsy are critical for diagnosis.
