Giant cell arteritis is a systemic vasculitis with a wide clinical spectrum, and it represents a medical emergency. Visual loss is the most feared complication, and when it happens, it tends to be profound and permanent. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are imperative to minimize potentially devastating visual loss and neurologic deficits.

Giant cell epulis (peripheral giant cell granuloma) typically appears as a reactive benign lesion in the oral cavity in areas following local irritation or chronic trauma. Here we describe the case of a 45-year-old male patient who presented with the chief complaint of a large gingival mass in the anterolateral maxilla.

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is an immune-mediated large-vessel vasculitis with a complex etiology in which a cross talk between environmental and genetic factors may affect its susceptibility and phenotypic expression. During the last decades, a large number of candidate gene studies explored the genetic component of GCA.

AbstractGiant cell arteritis (GCA) is an immune‐mediated vasculitis, affecting medium‐ to large‐sized arteries, in individuals over the age of 50 years. Visual loss is a frequent complication of GCA, and once it occurs it tends to be both permanent and profound.

Current Treatment Options in Neurology, 2004
Patients with a suspected diagnosis of giant cell arteritis (GCA) should be started on high-dose corticosteroid therapy without delay. A temporal artery biopsy should be performed after initiation of therapy to confirm the diagnosis. Patients with acute visual or neurologic symptoms present a neuro-ophthalmic emergency.

Giant cell arteritis (GCA) is an immune-mediated chronic vasculitis of large- and medium-sized vessels usually occurring in White individuals aged over 50 years, in Western countries. The pathological hallmark of GCA is granulomatous inflammation of the involved vessels.

Abstract A previously undescribed benign fibrous tumor of the oral cavity is reported. Its clinical and histopathologic features are discussed. It is found most commonly on the gingiva in young people and is characterized histologically by stellate, mononuclear, and multinuclear giant cells.

The Lancet, 2014 In July 2013, a 64-year-old woman presented to her optometrist with a 4-day history of intermittent blurred vision in the left eye with a left-sided headache. The patient was unsure whether she had had jaw claudication or scalp tenderness. She had no previous ocular history except spectacles for hyperopia and presbyopia. She had been taking diclofenac,

Giant-cell or temporal arteritis is a generalized vasculitis that predominantly affects large- and medium-sized arteries in people over 50 years of age. The illness is commonly characterized by the initial symptoms of headache, temporal artery tenderness or pulselessness, musculoskeletal pain, fever, and fatigue.

Inflammatory aortic diseases are broadly classified into three categories according to the degree of inflammation: atherosclerosis, atherosclerosis with excessive inflammation, and aortitis/periaortitis. This paper presents a case of a 39-year old man with aneurysmal dilatation of thoracic aorta and aortic valve insufficiency.
