Abstract:
Isolated lesions of vasculitis are described in different organs, notably female genital tract. Exhaustive clinic and paraclinic exams are necessary to exclude an occult systemic vasculitis. We report a case of vasculitis that was restricted to uterine cervix and isthmus, fortuitously discovered by a 45-years-old woman after hysterectomy. At histological examination, necrotizing vasculitis of small and medium-sized arteries was found, suggesting diagnosis of polyarteritis nodosa. There was no argument for systemic vasculitis.
