Abstract
Giant cell arteritis (GCA) of the female genital tract has been described as an incidental finding, but associated temporal arteritis (TA) has been rarely reported. We describe a case of female genital tract GCA associated with occult giant cell TA, which in the absence of cranial symptoms was confirmed by a random temporal artery biopsy. The patient remains asymptomatic at 12 month followup after treatment with prednisolone and azathioprine.
