Abstract
Summary: In a patient who had a hysterectomy and bilateral salpingo‐oophorectomy for endometrial adenocarcinoma, a giant cell arteritis was found in many of the myometrial and tuba1 vessels and in a few of the small arteries of the cervix and ovaries. On subsequent questioning, a history of treatment for polymyalgia rheumatica during the preceding 12 months was elicited. Of the three previously reported patients with giant cell arteritis of the uterus, two were suffering from polymyalgia rheumatica whilst one possibIy had disseminated visceral giant cell arteritis.Keywords
