✦ Synopsis

The presence of giant cells in heart valves has never been reported. In giant cell arteritis, giant cells c a n involve coronary arteries and the aorta, but they have never been demonstrated in heart valves ( 1,2). Takayasu's arteritis is similar t o giant cell arteritis, especially in its "pre-pulseless" phase; it often involves the aortic root and its branches and can cause aortic regurgitation ( 3 ) . W e report a patient with Reiter's syndrome who had severe giant cell valvulitis of aortic and mitral valves, necessitating valve replacements.
