- Abstract
We report a case of polyangiitis overlap syndrome of giant cell arteritis (GCA) and granulomatosis with polyangiitis (GPA) and conduct a literature review of polyangiitis overlap syndrome. The patient was 73-year-old male who developed cranial-type GCA and GPA simultaneously and was successfully treated with rituximab. Rituximab might be effective for not only GPA but also GCA.
