Abstract

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is a vasculitis of large and medium sized vessels that commonly affects extracranial branches of the internal and external carotid arteries. It is a diagnosis of the elderly that typically presents temporal tenderness, claudication of the jaw or vision loss. Lingual necrosis is unusual symptom of GCA. We report a case of GCA revealed by a tongue necrosis.
