Abstract
QUINTANA, Gerardo; RODRIGUEZ, Gerzaín; RESTREPO, José Félix and IGLESIAS GAMARRA, Antonio. Poliarteritis nodosa cutánea atípica Una forma atípica de la presentación de la poliarteritis nodosa cutánea. Rev.Colomb.Reumatol. [online]. 2008, vol.15, n.4, pp.320-325. ISSN 0121-8123.
In this article we present an unusual case of cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa (CPAN), which are painful erythematous nodular lesions that engages many areas of the body, including superior and inferior legs, buttocks, trunk, mammary gland and scalp. The histological lesions are characteristic of vasculitis. This type of clinical manifestation has not been reported previously in the literature, so we believe that this is an atypical form of the CPAN.
Keywords : cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa; small vessel vasculitis.
