Abstract
Mycotic axillary aneurysms, not commonly encountered today, are genera lly the consequence of arterial trauma. A case of an axillary aneurysm secondary to a septic embolus from valvular vegetations in an intrave nous drug abuser was studied. The case is reminiscent of those sporadi cally reported cases of the preantibiotic era.
