Abstract
Clinical presentation as well as histological or biological findings can
sometimes make the diagnosis of giant-cell arteritis difficult.
Histopathological features of temporal artery biopsy from giant-cell
arteritis patients are also challenging because of the various described
appearances or even finding of clinically normal temporal artery biopsy
does not rule out the diagnosis. We here describe the case of a
51-year-old man with temporal artery biopsy showing lymphocytes
infiltrates in the adventitia corresponding to the so-called adventitial
pattern of giant-cell arteritis according to Hernandez-Rodriguez et al.
