Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that can involve multiple organ systems. The most common form of vasculitis seen in SLE is small vessel vasculitis. Aortitis in SLE or antiphospholipid syndrome is an extremely rare complication. Here, we present a 32-year-old female who presented with a history of prolonged abdominal pain, who was evaluated and diagnosed to have aortitis as an unusual involvement in SLE with secondary antiphospholipid antibody syndrome.
