AbstractThe authors report a case of Horton's arteritis and associated rheumatic polymyalgia, which was complicated from a diagnostic point of view by the atypical clinical and biohumoral conditions. Both the subjective and objective symptoms were relatively unclear compared to laboratory and instrumental findings which pointed strongly to an autoimmune disorder. The coexistence of biohumoral data of a cholestatic hepatitic type, not common to other pathologies, although reported in the literature, led to further diagnostic difficulties. Diagnosis was finally confirmed by temporal artery biopsy.
