title: Pulmonary artery thrombosis in giant cell arteritis. A new case and review of literature.
abstract: Pulmonary artery thrombosis caused by giant cell arteritis is an extremely rare condition. We report the case of an 86-year-old woman, who was hospitalized for dyspnea. Pulmonary artery thrombosis was confirmed by pulmonary angiogram and was linked to giant cell arteritis. This observation is accompanied by a discussion of the literature.
