Abstrakt: A 74-year-old woman presented herself at the outpatient clinic for dermatology with three temporoparietal ulcers on her scalp which are diagnosed as complications of temporal arteritis. The core symptoms of temporal arteritis are often non-specific, causing diagnostic delay. This dermatological complication can be an important clinical clue urging the physician to start treatment.
