Abstract
INTRODUCTION: Aortitis often occurs in patients with systemic vasculitis. PRESENTATION OF CASE: We reported a 73 year old man with giant cell arteritis who was presented with abdominal pain and weight loss. DISCUSSION: Aortitis was diagnosed on PET-CT scan performed because initial investigations raised the possibility of pancreatic pathology. CONCLUSION: This case highlights the utility of PET-CT in the diagnosis of abdominal aortitis and the need to consider aortitis as a differential in patients with abdominal pain with a history of vasculitis.
