Abstract

We report two cases of polyarteritis and one of hypersensitivity angiitis diagnosed by temporal artery biopsy. Autopsies showed no evidence of giant cell arteritis. A review of the English literature provides seven further autopsy cases of necrotizing vasculitis diagnosed by temporal artery biopsy. The term temporal arteritis includes many types of vasculitis, giant cell arteritis being one of them.
