The arterial aneurysm secondary to Candida is a rare but frightening complication of renal transplant. We report the case of a 58-year-old patient who developed an arterial aneurysm secondary to a Candida infection in 3 weeks of a third renal transplant. Candida albicans was isolated from the preservation solution. The treatment consisted of a transplant nephrectomy, aneurysm excision and an iliac bypass with cryopreserved iliac homograft. All of bacteriologic culture was positive for Candida. The positive bacteriologic culture for Candida in preservation solution requires antifongic treatment. In case of arterial aneurysm, a surgical treatment is necessary but majority of kidney transplant had to be removed.
