Temporal artery biopsy showing necrotizing arteritis

Temporal artery biopsy showing necrotizing arteritis
Temporal artery biopsy of a patient with microscopic polyangiitis, demonstrating that the temporal artery can be involved by vasculitides other than GCA. Note fibrinoid necrosis, which does not occur in GCA.
GCA: giant cell arteritis, also known as Horton disease, cranial arteritis, and temporal arteritis.
