We report localized polyarteritis nodosa in a 31-year-old man who had painful nodules in the left forearm and scrotum. Histopathological findings of both tissues revealed distinct arteritis. However, he had no clinical evidence of any systemic disease. We finally diagnosed this case as a localized polyarteritis nodosa occurring in both the left forearm and epididymis. This form of polyarteritis...

Cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa (CPAN) is an uncommon form of vasculitis involving small and medium sized arteries of unknown etiology. The disease can be differentiated from polyarteritis nodosa by its limitation to the skin and lack of progression to visceral involvement. The characteristic manifestations are subcutaneous nodule, livedo reticularis, and ulceration, mostly localized on the lowe...

early diagnosis (often based on the detection of angiokeratomas) is important, as timely treatment can prevent the development of serious, irreversible complications. Dermatologists can play a key role in this respect. Enzyme replacement therapy (with agalsidase alpha) is the only specific treatment available for Fabry disease, and has been shown to stabilize renal function and reduce left vent...

Cutaneous vasculitides continue to be difficult to diagnose and treat because of the complexity of these disorders. Current classification schemes are based on clinical findings and histopathologic criteria, so biopsy of an early evolving lesion is the most effective means of establishing the diagnosis. We describe the case of a 74 years old man suffering from livedo reticularis and painful nod...

Aortic diseases have high mortality and are usually late or misdiagnosed. Especially in patients with inflammatory vasculitis, diagnosis is often confused other causes of chest pain this a delay diagnosis. Vascular complications the most important predictors morbidity Behcet’s disease also polyarteritis nodosa. The aortitis obtained by vascular imaging, but partly made only biopsy on occasion a...

polyarteritis nodosa (pan) is a necrotizing vasculitis characterized by damage to blood vessels and subsequent ischemic tissue changes in various organs. the case presented here is a 51-year-old man with pan, who has recently developed osteomyelitis of mandible. to the best of our knowledge, this is the first report of jaw osteomyelitis in patients with pan.

Polyarteritis nodosa is a necrotizing vasculitis which affects small and medium-sized arteries. The clinical features of the disease vary according to the site and extent of involvement. Aneurysmal dilatation and thrombosis in the arteries of the liver and gastrointestinal tract have been reported in polyarteritis nodosa. However, rupture of the hepatic aneurysm and necrotizing appendicitis due...
