“…One case was old age JTA, and KD developed as retroauricular mass in 3 years later after JTA excision [2]. The other three cases were JTA, which co-existed with neighboring KD lesions at the concurrent periarterial specimen [3][4][5]. These features suggested that JTA is a manifestation of KD, which is further supported by the present case.…”

“…Histologic examination of the JTA shows intimal proliferation and panarteritis with lymphocyte and eosinophil infiltrates but no giant cell, which may extend to the perivascular area [1]. From the first case report [1], the pathologic features of JTA have been suspected to be the morphological equivalent of Kimura disease (KD), which has been supported further by the concurrent cases of JTA with KD [2][3][4][5]. KD is a chronic inflammatory disorder that affects the subcutaneous tissue and lymph nodes, especially in the head and neck area, with peripheral blood eosinophilia [6].…”

“…KD showed similar pathologic features with JTA, including lymphatic eosinophilic infiltration, vascular proliferation, and multiple follicle formation, except for differences in the distribution of the involved tissues. Previous case reports of JTA accompanying KD, in which JTA either preceded [2] or developed at the same time with KD [3][4][5]. One case was old age JTA, and KD developed as retroauricular mass in 3 years later after JTA excision [2].…”

Juvenile temporal arteritis (JTA) is a localized nodular arteritis confined to the temporal artery without evidence of systemic inflammation, and it occurs mainly in patients younger than 50 years. From the first case report, the pathological features of JTA have been suspected to be the morphological equivalent of Kimura disease (KD), which has been supported further by the concurrent cases of JTA with KD. We present the first case of bilateral JTA accompanying KD, which was confirmed by histological and ultrasound evaluations and supports the hypothesis that JTA is a manifestation of KD. The un-excised JTA lesion was resolved completely after corticosteroid therapy with no recurrence. (J Rheum Dis 2018;25:65-68)

“…These patients complained of painless nodules on their temple, and the pathologic findings revealed nongiant cell inflammation of temporal arteries [4]. From then on until February 2019, according to our literature review through PubMed and Scopus, 18 more cases have been reported [23567891011121314151617181920]. Including the present case, a total of 23 cases of JTA were reported and their mean age was 27 years (range, 7 to 44 years) and there was the male predominance (18 men and 5 women).…”

“…Since the first report of JTA in 1975 [4], a total of 22 cases have been reported so far [234567891011121314151617181920], but its etiology, pathogenesis, and long-term prognosis are still unknown. Although JTA is a localized disease, it is often accompanied by peripheral blood eosinophilia, so some authors have suggested the concept of JTA with eosinophilia [81213].…”

Concurrent bilateral juvenile temporal arteritis and hypereosinophilic syndrome: a case report and review of the literature

Most of temporal arteritis occurs in the older patient over 50 years old, and the histopathologic finding shows a granulomatous inflammation, so this called giant cell arteritis. However, the young patients also present with a nodular lesion in their temple, and juvenile temporal arteritis (JTA) should be considered as one of the differential diagnosis, although it is very rare. For both diagnosis and treatment of JTA, excisional biopsy is essential. The pathologic finding of the temporal artery shows panarteritis with lymphoeosinophilic infiltrates, but no giant cell or granulomatous lesion. JTA is a localized disease with low level of systemic inflammatory marker, so the symptom is usually relieved by excision of affected lesion. Peripheral blood eosinophilia present in some cases of JTA, but its relation with clinical course and prognosis is not yet been known. Herein, we report the case of a 24-year-old man diagnosed with concurrent JTA and hypereosinophilic syndrome. We also reviewed the literature of JTA focusing on the impact of combined peripheral eosinophilia on the course of the disease. Combined peripheral eosinophilia may increase the risk of recurrence of JTA after local treatment such as excision only.

Juvenile Temporal Arteritis (JTA) is a rare non-granulomatous vasculitis affecting the superficial temporal arteries, mostly in individuals under 45 years old. It is often misdiagnosed due to its benign nature and the absence of systemic symptoms. Herein, we present a case report of a 40-year-old woman who initially presented with painless nodules in the left temporal area. Following a biopsy, the patient developed additional nodules not only in the same temple but also on the contralateral side. Remarkably, these nodules underwent spontaneous regression without further treatment, highlighting the variability in JTA’s course and distinctive response to intervention. In addition, through a systematic literature review of 43 case reports – 17 with bilateral involvement – we aimed to thoroughly understand the clinical and histopathological findings, diagnostic processes, and treatment responses in JTA, with an emphasis on cases with bilateral involvement. Findings indicate that JTA typically presents as painless or painful temporal nodules, rarely accompanied by other non-specific symptoms, making histopathological examination crucial for accurate diagnosis. Collectively, our work provides the most extensive account of bilateral JTA cases to date. It emphasizes the need for clinical awareness of this condition, contributes valuable data to the limited information available on this rare condition and serves as a stepping-stone for further inquiry. The main takeaway from this review is the variable nature of JTA and the importance of histopathology in diagnosis, which helps clinicians avoid excessive testing and overtreatment and anticipate possible spontaneous resolution.
