Which of the following is a feature of temporal arteritis?
• Giant-cell (temporal) arteritis is a chronic, typically granulomatous inflammation of large to small-sized arteries that affects principally the arteries in the head—especially the temporal arteries—but also the vertebral and ophthalmic arteries
• Histopathologically, the disease is a panarteritis with inflammatory mononuclear cell infiltrates within the vessel wall with frequent giant cell formation.
• Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis (also known as Microscopic Polyarteritis): it is a necrotizing vasculitis affecting arterioles/capillaries/venules in which all lesions are of the same age. Granulomatous inflammation is absent
