  • Title: Hepatic fibrin-ring granulomas in giant cell arteritis.
    Author: de Bayser L, Roblot P, Ramassamy A, Silvain C, Levillain P, Becq-Giraudon B.
    Journal: Gastroenterology; 1993 Jul; 105(1):272-3. PubMed ID: 8514044.
    Abstract:
    Hepatic fibrin-ring granulomas were found in a 70-year-old man with prolonged fever and inflammatory syndrome. Diagnosis of giant cell arteritis was confirmed by temporal artery biopsy. Other diseases usually associated with fibrin-ring granulomas in liver, such as Q fever, cytomegalovirus hepatitis, infectious mononucleosis, Hodgkin's disease, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, allopurinol treatment, and visceral leishmaniasis, were ruled out. This report suggests that giant cell arteritis should be considered as an additional cause of hepatic fibrin-ring granulomas.
