A Rare Case of Extracranial Giant Cell Arteritis in a Patient With Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. | LitMetric

AI Article Synopsis

  • Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a rare autoimmune disease affecting multiple organs, and it's even rarer for it to coexist with Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA).
  • The case presented involves a 56-year-old woman whose main symptom was chest pain; imaging confirmed the diagnosis while excluding other conditions like Takayasu arteritis.
  • She was treated with glucocorticoids and tocilizumab, which led to a good recovery, highlighting the importance of accurate diagnosis to avoid serious complications.

Article Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that affects multiple organs, and its coexistence with Giant Cell Arteritis (GCA) is extremely rare. We present, to our knowledge, the first reported case of a 56-year-old woman with SLE and extracranial GCA who presented with chest pain as the cardinal symptom. The diagnosis was subsequently confirmed by imaging studies, ruling out Takayasu arteritis and SLE-related vasculitis. She required treatment with glucocorticoids and tocilizumab, showing a satisfactory evolution. Accurate diagnosis was key to preventing serious vascular complications and achieving favorable clinical recovery.
