  • Ovarian involvement in polyarteritis nodosa is exceptionally uncommon.

Observation:

  • A 48-year-old female presented with menorrhagia and pelvic pain.
  • Surgical intervention revealed a right adnexal cystic mass and uterine myoma.
  • Histopathology confirmed isolated polyarteritis nodosa of the left ovary.

Findings:

  • The patient showed no signs of systemic vasculitis during a 9-month follow-up.
  • This represents the first documented case of isolated ovarian polyarteritis nodosa in medical literature.

Implications:
