Abstract

Giant cell arteritis in a young black man is an extremely unusual occurrence. A 20-year-old black man came for treatment of bilateral leg claudication that had been present for a 2-month period. His medical and angiographic evaluation led to an arterial biopsy that demonstrated giant cell arteritis. The patient was treated with corticosteroids and his condition has subsequently improved. Unusual variants of giant cell arteritis are discussed.
