Abstract
We describe a 66-year-old man with giant cell arteritis (GCA) limited to the prostate. His symptoms, which resembled prostatic neoplasia, resolved with systemic steroid therapy. Pathology studies revealed no clinical or histologic data indicating temporal artery involvement. To our knowledge this is the first described case of GCA involving the prostate.
