Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Dermatology
  • Vascular Medicine

Background:

  • Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a rare systemic vasculitis affecting medium-sized arteries.
  • Distinguishing between systemic and cutaneous forms of PAN remains a clinical challenge.

Observation:

  • A 56-year-old woman presented with characteristic skin manifestations including nodules, ulcers, and livedo reticularis.
  • Abdominal angiography identified microaneurysms, indicative of active vasculitis.
  • The patient had co-existing hypertension, rheumatic heart disease, and diabetes mellitus.

Findings:

  • The case highlights the diagnostic utility of angiography in identifying vascular abnormalities in PAN.
  • The influence of anticoagulation therapy (warfarin) on the morphology of skin lesions was observed.
  • The presentation underscores the overlap and challenges in classifying PAN subtypes.

Implications:

  • Accurate classification of PAN is crucial for appropriate treatment strategies.
  • Understanding the impact of medications on disease presentation is important for patient management.
  • This case contributes to the literature on the diverse clinical spectrum of polyarteritis nodosa.
