title: [Genital sites of giant-cell arteritis].
abstract: Temporal arteritis is one of the localisation of the giant cell arteritis. The involvement of the female genital tract had been rarely reported with only 16 cases in the literature. We report 3 cases revealed by a tumor of the genital tract. Histologic features are found in the vessels of ovaries, fallopian tubes and myometrium. Only one patient had symptoms suggestive of temporal arteritis.
