It is classified into systemic and cutaneous PAN according to the presence of systemic symptoms or visceral involvement. We describe the case of a 14-year-old girl with cutaneous Polyarteritis nodosa with an atypical clinical presentation.

متن کاملCutaneous polyarteritis nodosa: an update.
Cutaneous symptoms are observed in 25%-60% of polyarteritis nodosa (PN) patients. On the other hand, cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa (CPN) is designated for the cutaneous limited form of PN and demonstrates benign prognosis. However, there has been much debate on whether or not CPN can progress to PN. Although CPN lesions are fundamentally limited to skin, some CPN cases show extracutaneous symp...
متن کاملAntiphosphatidylserine-prothrombin complex antibodies in 3 patients with Behçet disease involving superficial vein thrombophlebitis.
BACKGROUND Superficial vein thrombophlebitis is the common vascular symptom in Behçet disease and is characterized as erythema nodosum-like eruptions. Some studies have reported the presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (Abs) in patients with Behçet disease. OBSERVATIONS We measured lupus anticoagulant, anticardiolipin, anti-beta(2)-glycoprotein I, and antiphosphatidylserine-prothrombin com...
