Juvenile temporal arteritis (JTA) is a localized nodular arteritis confined to the temporal artery without evidence of systemic inflammation, and it occurs mainly in patients younger than 50 years. From the first case report, the pathological features of JTA have been suspected to be the morphological equivalent of Kimura disease (KD), which has been supported further by the concurrent cases of JTA with KD. We present the first case of bilateral JTA accompanying KD, which was confirmed by histological and ultrasound evaluations and supports the hypothesis that JTA is a manifestation of KD. The un-excised JTA lesion was resolved completely after corticosteroid therapy with no recurrence. (J Rheum Dis 2018;25:65-68)

“…Only four case reports of bilateral involvement of the JTA have been identified up to now [9][10][11][12]. Common characteristics of bilateral cases and our case included occurrence at age between 20 and 40 years, male gender, and peripheral blood eosinophilia.…”

“…Pathologically, eight cases except for that of Guardiola et al 7 had an eosinophilic infiltration of the temporal artery at the time of biopsy ( Table 2). Four of these patients had granuloma in their biopsy specimens, 5,7,11,14 but only three had necrosis in the tunica. 5,8,11 Only two out of these three cases showed both granuloma and necrosis in the biopsy specimens, and they were characterized by a relatively young onset age for TA (23 and 26 years old, repectively 5,11 ).…”

“…[5][6][7] However, these two diseases could also be explained by either AGA with temporal artery involvement 8,9 or TA associated with the tissue eosinophil infiltration (so-called juvenile TA with hypereosinophilia). [10][11][12] To date, we have found nine cases that have been reported to demonstrate a concurrent occurrence of AGA and TA (Tables 1 and 2). [5][6][7][8][9]11,[13][14][15] Clinically, all cases had eosinophilia in the peripheral blood and eight cases except for that of Bollinger et al 11 had a history of bronchial asthma (Table 1).…”

Concurrent occurrence of allergic granulomatous angiitis and temporal arteritis: a case report and review of the literature

et al. 2005

Allergic granulomatous angiitis (AGA) is a disease entity that was first distinguished from classical polyarteritis nodosa by Churg and Strauss in 1951, and is characterized by the clinical features of allergic rhinitis or bronchial asthma, eosinophilia, and vasculitis. Allergic granulomatous angiitis has been described to mainly involve small vessels. We herein describe a case of Churg-Strauss syndrome which demonstrated the clinical and laboratory findings supporting a diagnosis of AGA and was also associated with the clinical and pathological findings for temporal arteritis, which was characterized by eosinophil infiltration and granuloma formation of the temporal artery (middle-sized vessel).

Juvenile Temporal Arteritis (JTA) is a rare non-granulomatous vasculitis affecting the superficial temporal arteries, mostly in individuals under 45 years old. It is often misdiagnosed due to its benign nature and the absence of systemic symptoms. Herein, we present a case report of a 40-year-old woman who initially presented with painless nodules in the left temporal area. Following a biopsy, the patient developed additional nodules not only in the same temple but also on the contralateral side. Remarkably, these nodules underwent spontaneous regression without further treatment, highlighting the variability in JTA’s course and distinctive response to intervention. In addition, through a systematic literature review of 43 case reports – 17 with bilateral involvement – we aimed to thoroughly understand the clinical and histopathological findings, diagnostic processes, and treatment responses in JTA, with an emphasis on cases with bilateral involvement. Findings indicate that JTA typically presents as painless or painful temporal nodules, rarely accompanied by other non-specific symptoms, making histopathological examination crucial for accurate diagnosis. Collectively, our work provides the most extensive account of bilateral JTA cases to date. It emphasizes the need for clinical awareness of this condition, contributes valuable data to the limited information available on this rare condition and serves as a stepping-stone for further inquiry. The main takeaway from this review is the variable nature of JTA and the importance of histopathology in diagnosis, which helps clinicians avoid excessive testing and overtreatment and anticipate possible spontaneous resolution.
