ABSTRACT
We report five cases of glucocorticoid-responsive mouth symptoms in polymyalgia rheumatica/giant cell arteritis (GCA); three cases of tongue pain exacerbated by hot/spicy food, a case of scalp pain made worse by eating hot/spicy food and a case of sore tongue as a presenting feature of GCA. These cases emphasize the importance of asking about mouth symptoms and changes in taste when evaluating patients with suspected GCA.
