A rare widespread vasculitis with giant cells in small- and medium-sized arteries and veins

Key Points

• To discuss a rare case of widespread vasculitis characterized by giant cells in small and medium-sized arteries and veins.
• Clinical examination and history collection from the patient
• Skin biopsy analysis to determine the nature of the inflammatory process
• Contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) to assess vascular involvement
• Initial C-reactive protein (CRP) levels were high at 16.5 mg/dL, indicating inflammation.
• Treatment with diaphenylsulfone resulted in a significant drop in CRP to 0.5 mg/dL.
• Associated symptoms such as the rash resolved after treatment.
