Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a necrotizing vasculitis of medium and small arteries usually manifesting in a systemic form. In rare cases, PAN may reveal an underlying malignant disease. We report the case of a 62-year-old patient hospitalized for etiological assessment of chronic polyarthritis which revealed an ovarian mass associated with paraneoplastic polyarteritis nodosa.
