Diagnosing and treating cutaneous vasculitis is challenging. This case highlights cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa, successfully managed with steroids, emphasizing the need for long-term monitoring for potential systemic involvement.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Rheumatology
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Cutaneous vasculitides present diagnostic and therapeutic challenges.
  • Classification relies on clinical and histopathologic findings, necessitating early lesion biopsy.
  • Early diagnosis is crucial for effective management of these complex disorders.

Observation:

  • A 74-year-old male presented with livedo reticularis and painful leg ulcers.
  • Histopathologic examination of lesions confirmed cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa.
  • Systemic disease was excluded through comprehensive clinical, laboratory, and instrumental evaluations.

Findings:

  • The patient achieved remission with moderate-dose corticosteroids.
  • Long-term low-dose steroid therapy resulted in significant improvement.

  • The condition was classified as isolated cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa due to the absence of systemic disease.

    • Implications:

    • Cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa is typically benign but can relapse.
    • Long-term patient follow-up is essential to monitor for systemic progression.
    • This case underscores the importance of accurate histopathologic diagnosis and tailored steroid therapy.
