Case report
A 36-year-old Jamaican woman presented to a major New York medical center with a 1.0-cm enlarging, painful nodule on the left side of her forehead. There was no history of trauma. Shortly after the initial appearance of the nodule, the patient developed severe, frequent headaches predominantly involving the top of the head, bilaterally. The headaches occurred several times a week during a period of 6 months. There were no identifiable triggers and no aura was present. The pain was incompletely
Discussion
JTA is a rare entity with few reported systemic consequences. In the majority of cases, at short-term follow-up (no follow-up > 2 years has been reported) the disease is limited to a single lesion and neither recurs nor produces subsequent systemic symptoms. Starting with the initial report by Lie et al,5 who stated, “Whether the lesions represent a juvenile form of temporal arteritis, an unusual form of localized polyarteritis nodosa, or Kimura disease (subcutaneous angiolymphoid hyperplasia

2019, Autoimmunity ReviewsCitation Excerpt :No patient developed systemic vasculitis. In one case of the literature [22], one month after excision the patient still complained of headache, malaise and induration at the site of excision, without any kind of systemic treatment, which was more suggestive of lack of initial remission than relapse. One patient presented 24 months later cervical and axillary lymphadenopathies and tuberous cutaneous infiltrates, even though symptoms and signs of JTA had resolved.
