Abstract
The case was a 43-year-old female with restiform objects on her head and along both temporal arteries and erythematous papules on her trunk. Histopathologically, significant infiltration of eosinophils was found as well as neutrophils and histiocytes from the intima to the media of the temporal arteries, indicating angitis. No giant cells were found. There were no systemic symptoms other than eruptions. Inflammatory indicators, including CRP, were not elevated. Diagnosis of this case was believed to be juvenile temporal arteritis with eosinophilia, which was advocated by Fujimoto et al., accompanied by dermatological symptoms.
