ABSTRACT
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.
