Abstract

Kawasaki disease (mucocutaneous lymph node syndrome) is a pathological process seen mostly in children, but has been reported in adults. The late manifestations of the syndrome can include the development of multiple coronary artery aneurysms. This article describes a 27-year-old man with no risk factors for atherosclerotic disease with multiple coronary artery aneurysms.
