Coronary artery involvement in giant cell arteritis (GCA) is rare but can lead to severe complications, including myocardial infarction and death. We present unique 2-[18F]fluorodeoxyglucose positron emission tomography/computed tomography (2-[18F]FDG-PET/CT) findings in a 91-year-old woman with GCA. In addition to typical aortic and supra-aortic involvement, this scan revealed intense FDG uptake in the coronary arteries, including the left main trunk, left anterior descending, circumflex, and right coronary arteries.
