Psoriasis is defined as a chronic inflammatory disease involving keratinocytes hyperproliferation of the epidermis with the acceleration in the epidermal turnover time, which is affected by various factors including genetic, immunologic, and environmental factors. There is a high risk for the development of premature cardiovascular diseases among patients with psoriasis as well as one of the life-threatening events is an aortic aneurysm (AA).
We report a 60-year-old man with the diagnosed psoriatic disease that an enlargement of the abdominal AA was incidentally found by annual check-up.
Further large-scale studies are needed to find the prevalence of abdominal AA in psoriasis and the appropriate screening time of that in this disease.
银屑病被定义为一种慢性炎症性疾病，涉及表皮角质形成细胞过度增殖，伴有表皮周转时间加快，其受多种因素影响，包括遗传、免疫和环境因素。银屑病患者发生心血管疾病过早的风险较高，其中一种危及生命的事件是主动脉瘤（AA）。
我们报告一名60岁被诊断患有银屑病的男性，其腹部AA增大是在年度体检时偶然发现的。
需要进一步开展大规模研究，以确定银屑病患者腹部AA的患病率以及该病中腹部AA的合适筛查时间。
