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.
