Isolated Polyarteritis Nodosa of Uterine Cervix A Case Report
Correspondence to : Departments of Internal Medicine, Pathology* Yonsei University College of Medicine, Seoul, Korea
Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a multisystem necrotizing vasculitis affecting small and medium-sized arteries. A forty-four year old Korean woman underwent a laparoscopic total hysterectomy for uterine myoma, and routine histopathologic examination showed PAN involving arteries of the uterine cervix. Investigation for systemic involvement of PAN did not show any other organ involvement. The patient has not received glucocorticoid or any immunosuppressive agents after a laparoscopic total hysterectomy and has been doing well without any evidence of recurrence. To our knowledge, this is the first case of isolated uterine cervix PAN in Korea.
