Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
A 62-year-old white woman presented with severe facial swelling, glossitis, and odynophagia. Giant cell arteritis (GCA) was diagnosed on the basis of temporal artery biopsy, and the patient responded to corticosteroids. GCA may rarely involve vessels of the mouth and face, resulting in unusual clinical manifestations. Early recognition and treatment are important. |
