    Localized pain and swelling in extremities may indicate cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa (PN). Early biopsy and steroid therapy offer excellent prognosis for this distinct subset of PN.

    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Rheumatology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Polyarteritis nodosa (PN) is a systemic vasculitis.
    • Cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa (PN) is a recognized subset.
    • Distinguishing cutaneous PN from systemic forms is crucial for prognosis and management.

    Observation:

    • A 30-year-old male presented with recurrent localized extremity pain and swelling.
    • Multiple subcutaneous lesions were biopsied, showing histologic features of polyarteritis nodosa (PN).
    • Systemic involvement was ruled out via testicular biopsy, abdominal angiography, and assessment for renal/visceral disease.

    Findings:

    • Histologic examination confirmed polyarteritis nodosa (PN) in subcutaneous lesions.
    • The patient's condition responded well to steroid therapy.

  • Systemic evaluation excluded widespread polyarteritis nodosa (PN).

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa (PN) as a distinct entity with a favorable prognosis.
    • Increased clinical awareness and early lesion biopsy are essential for diagnosing suspected cases.
    • Prompt diagnosis and treatment, such as with steroids, can lead to excellent outcomes in cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa (PN).
