Two patients with clinical features consistent with giant cell arteritis were found to have systemic cholesterol microembolization syndromes. Diagnostic confirmation was established by a muscle biopsy in one patient and by a kidney biopsy in the other. Systemic cholesterol embolization can masquerade as a variety of disorders, including vasculitis, and should be considered in a patient with suspected giant cell arteritis who has a negative temporal artery biopsy.
两名具有符合巨细胞动脉炎临床特征的患者被发现患有系统性胆固醇微栓塞综合征。其中一名患者通过肌肉活检确诊，另一名患者通过肾脏活检确诊。系统性胆固醇栓塞可能会伪装成包括血管炎在内的多种疾病，对于颞动脉活检呈阴性的疑似巨细胞动脉炎患者应考虑此病。
