Introduction:
Aortitis can be an initial presentation of many diseases, but most often include large cell vasculitis.
Case Presentation:
We present a case of a 53 year old female who presented with a myriad of symptoms including abdominal pain, nausea, fever, and headaches. CT scan of the chest showed an inflamed aorta with an initial concern for a large cell vasculitis, but found later to be from her underlying acute myeloid leukemia (AML).
Discussion/Conclusion:
Our case emphasizes the importance of aortitis being the initial presentation of a multitude of diseases including malignancy. It remains important, especially for rheumatologists, to consider blood cancers when presented with aortitis.
Background/Introduction:
Aortitis can be an initial presentation of many diseases, but most often include large cell vasculitis. We describe a case of aoritis being the initial presentation of AML.

Leukopenia may result from bone marrow disorders, autoimmune diseases, and infectious diseases. For example, conditions such as multiple myeloma and aplastic anemia can impair the bone marrow's ability to produce adequate leukocytes. Similarly, autoimmune diseases like lupus and viral infections such as HIV can prompt the immune...
