Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We describe the case of a 41-year-old man who presented with clinical and histopathologic evidence of temporal artery lesions associated with the Churg-Strauss syndrome. Pathological examination of the temporal artery showed panarteritis without giant cell formation or fibrinoid necrosis. We review the world literature concerning the vasculitides with features that overlap giant cell arteritis (GCA) and polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) and classify into 2 sub-groups PAN with unusual temporal artery localization and GCA with variably disseminated arterial injuries. These cases emphasize the fact that not all arteritis involving the temporal arteries is GCA. Only 3 cases with temporal artery involvement and concurrent Churg-Strauss syndrome have been published. |
