Giant-cell arteritis involving the bilateral adnexa was identified incidentally in a bilateral salpingo-oophorectomy specimen obtained as a result of an ovarian cyst in a 75-year-old woman. Although the patient was asymptomatic, extensive giant-cell arteritis was present in the ovaries, paraovarian tissue, and fallopian tubes along with Brenner tumors of the ovaries. This finding prompted a temporal artery biopsy that revealed typical temporal arteritis. Giant-cell arteritis rarely involves the female genital tract and may present as an isolated form or a part of systemic disease. We discuss female genital tract giant-cell arteritis with a review of the English literature.
