Abstract
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) may present as pyrexia of unknown origin with profuse night sweats, pain on mastication, headache, pain in the region of the temporal arteries, polymyalgia rheumatica, myocardial infarction or dissecting aortic aneurysm (1). Few cases with pulmonary involvement have been described. We report a patient with temporal arteritis preceded by pulmonary vascular disease.
