Fibromuscular dysplasia is a nonatherosclerotic, noninflammatory vascular disease that most commonly affects the renal and internal carotid arteries but has been described in almost every arterial bed in the body (Table 1).^{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12} Although the disease was first described by Leadbetter and Burkland in 1938,¹³ the report by McCormack and coworkers two decades later of four cases of "fibromuscular hyperplasia" was the first accurate pathological description of this entity.¹⁴ The clinical presentation may vary from an asymptomatic condition to a multisystem disease that mimics necrotizing vasculitis,¹⁵ depending on the arterial segment involved, the degree of stenosis, and the type . . .
