Giant cell arteritis of the skin simulating erythema nodosum

J W Goldberg et al. Ann Rheum Dis. 1987 Sep.

Abstract

Cutaneous involvement in giant cell arteritis is quite uncommon. A patient is described who presented with pretibial skin lesions clinically indistinguishable from erythema nodosum which, on biopsy, showed subcutaneous pannicular giant cell vasculitis. Cutaneous manifestations of giant cell arteritis are subsequently reviewed.
