Cutaneous Polyarteritis Nodosa

Abstract: The term polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) presently includes classic systemic PAN, cutaneous PAN, and microscopic PAN (microscopic polyangeiitis). Cutaneous PAN involves the deep dermis and the panniculus, with anatomopathological findings diagnostic for arteritis. The most frequent clinical manifestation of cutaneous PAN is the presence of nodules on the lower legs, which frequently are found at different stages of development. At times, they may not leave residual changes, but generally a violaceous livedoid color… Show more

“…Reported treatments of CPAN include non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) for mild cases, corticosteroids for cases recurring or developing extra-cutaneous symptoms [8], azathioprine, methotrexate, cyclosporine, cyclophosphamide, colchicine, dapsone, chloroquine, pentoxyfylline, mycophenolate mofetil, or intravenous immunoglobulin administration [3,9,10]. However, some cases of CPAN are resistant to such treatments and experience repeated exacerbations over prolonged periods [8,11].…”

“…Eine Entzündung dieser Gefäße mit Livedozeichnung scheint aber bei der systemischen PAN sehr selten zu sein, ganz anders als bei der unten zu besprechenden kutanen Arteriitis oder kutanen PAN. Allerdings ist in einschlägigen Berichten über die systemische PAN und ihre Hautsymptome immer wieder von hämorrhagi-schen Blasen und palpabler Purpura die Rede, also definitiv von einer Vaskulitis der kleinen Gefäße [5,11]. Diese Manifestationen sind nicht vereinbar mit der Definition der PAN durch die CHCC 2012 als eine Vaskulitis exklusiv der kleinen Arterien und Arteriolen, welche explizit die kleinen Gefäße ausnimmt [7].…”
