title: Giant cell arteritis in a black patient.
abstract: Giant cell arteritis has been thought to occur only in white patients. There have been several recent reports of this disorder to blacks, however, and this case of biopsy-proven giant cell arteritis in a black patient indicates the diagnosis should be considered in any elderly patient with typical symptoms regardless of race.
