Interstitial lung disease (ILD) has rarely been reported as a manifestation of giant cell arteritis (GCA). We herein report a unique case of GCA in a 76-year-old woman who presented with ILD as an initial manifestation of GCA.

One year after the cessation of corticosteroid therapy, she was admitted with a persistent fever. After admission, she developed left
