A case of Takayasu's arteritis is reported. Ventilation-perfusion lung scans and exercise thallium scintigraphy clearly showed pulmonary and coronary arterial involvement, respectively. Clinical examination and angiography revealed no other abnormal vascular findings. This case points out the difficulty in attempting to diagnose Takayasu's disease if only atypical vascular involvement is present.
