Abstract

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is the most common type of vasculitis in adults, which is classified as a large/medium vessel vasculitis. It has a predilection for the ophthalmic circulation and extracranial carotid system. Temporal artery biopsy specimens can show the presence of inflammatory multinucleated giant cells. Here, we report just the third case of Mönckeberg sclerosis with multinucleated giant cells affecting the temporal artery and mimicking GCA. This rare finding in the evaluation of a common vasculitis is important for rheumatologists to be aware of and emphasizes close collaboration between clinicians and pathologists.

Mönckeberg伴有巨细胞硬化的假面巨细胞动脉炎。
巨细胞动脉炎(GCA)是成人最常见的血管炎类型,它被归类为大/中血管血管炎。它偏爱眼循环和颅外颈动脉系统。颞动脉活检标本可显示炎性多核巨细胞的存在。在这里,我们报告第三例Mönckeberg硬化伴多核巨细胞影响颞动脉并模拟GCA。这种罕见的发现在评估常见的血管炎是重要的风湿病学家要意识到,并强调临床医生和病理学家之间的密切合作。
