Description Temporal arteritis is vasculitis of medium-to-large vessels with focal and systemic manifestations including blindness, headaches, fevers, and weight loss.1 Few cases have reported temporal arteritis presenting with underlying renal cell carcinoma and pulmonary involvement.2-3 We present a case of biopsy-confirmed temporal arteritis in a patient with recurrent renal cell carcinoma and ischemic pulmonary nodules.
