The rare instance of
adenocarcinoma of the lung
that appeared concurrently with a biopsy proven giant cell
temporal arteritis
in a 45-year-old woman is described. The lung cancer (without lymph node metastases) was resected, and the
temporal arteritis
treated with prednisone in the standard dosage regimen. At 36 months followup, she was well with no signs of recurrence or metastases of the lung cancer, nor any recrudescence of
temporal arteritis
or polymyalgia rheumatica symptoms. This unusual association of lung cancer and
temporal arteritis
in a young woman, most probably a chance occurrence, has not been previously reported.
