Abstract (2. Language): 
Temporal arteritis also known as giant cell arteritis, is an inflammatory disease affecting medium- and large-sized arteries. Although, it is a systemic disorder that could affect arteries in multiple locations, it characteristically involves one or more branches of carotid artery particularly the temporal artery. 61 year-old male patient referred to our clinic by the complaints of headache, marked tinnitus, weakness, sweating and weight loss. Physical examination revealed bilateral submandibular lymphadenopathy and hepatosplenomegaly. Temporal artery biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of “giant cell arteritis (temporal arteritis)”. We decided to present this case because of its atypical presentation and importance of early diagnosis and therapy.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Dev hücreli arterit olarak da bilinen temporal arterit, orta-büyük çaplı arterleri etkileyen enflamatuar bir hastalıktır. Her ne kadar birçok lokalizasyondaki arterleri etkileyebilen sistemik bir hastalık olsa da, karakteristik olarak başta temporal arter olmak üzere karotis arterinin bir veya daha fazla dalını tutar. Altmışbir yaşında erkek hasta kliniğimize baş ağrısı, şiddetli kulak çınlaması, halsizlik, terleme ve kilo kaybı şikayetleriyle başvurdu. Fizik muayenede bilateral submandibuler lenfadenopati ve hepatosplenomegali belirlendi. Temporal arter biyopsisinde “dev hücreli arterit (temporal arterit)” tanısı konuldu. Olgunun atipik prezentasyonu ve erken tanı ve tedavinin önemi nedeniyle sunmaya karar verdik.
