- Abstract
The article presents a case study of a 57-year-old African American man who presented with symptoms such as malaise, weight loss, diarrhea, headache, and intermittent vision loss. The patient was diagnosed with IgG4-related disease (IgG4-RD), which manifested as active arteritis in the temporal artery and periarteritis in the coronary arteries, a rare occurrence. The case highlights that IgG4-RD can mimic other forms of vasculitis, including giant cell arteritis.
