Concomitant association of giant cell arteritis and malignancy: a multicenter retrospective case-control study

Paraneoplastic giant cell arteritis and prostate cancer: A case report of a not common association

“…5 In a retrospective study, Deshayes did not found association between any particular cancer type and GCA but found that only 4% ran a paraneoplastic course. 2 Solans-Laqué stated that tumor recurrence should be suspected in older patients with new-onset vasculitis or relapsing vasculitis. 3…”

“…Ji followed 3941 patients admitted with CGA and polymyalgia rheumatica and found an incidence excess of 19% of cancer in those patients, mostly in the first year after the diagnosis but found no excess of mortality 5 . In a retrospective study, Deshayes did not found association between any particular cancer type and GCA but found that only 4% ran a paraneoplastic course 2 . Solans‐Laqué stated that tumor recurrence should be suspected in older patients with new‐onset vasculitis or relapsing vasculitis 3…”

“…1 There is evidence that some auto-immune diseases have some relationship with certain types of cancer, mostly hematologic cancers. 2 Some types of vasculitis are more prone to be related with cancer, but this relationship is rare and paraneoplastic vasculitis represents only 5%. 3 This association has been described mostly with small vessel vasculitis or leukocytoclastic vasculitis.…”

“…The temporal ultrasonography with Doppler of the temporal arteries showing a segmental edematous halo has a high sensitivity and specificity, and the diagnosis can be made with this technique 1 . There is evidence that some auto‐immune diseases have some relationship with certain types of cancer, mostly hematologic cancers 2 . Some types of vasculitis are more prone to be related with cancer, but this relationship is rare and paraneoplastic vasculitis represents only 5% 3 .…”
