Yu, Cho, Shin, and Song: Polyarteritis Nodosa in the Stomach: A Case Report

Abstract

Polyarteritis nodosa is a systemic inflammatory disease resulting from necrotizing angitis of small to medium sized arteries. It involves various organs, including the gastrointestinal tract, which is involved in about 50% of all cases. Numerous complications-including abdominal pain, vomiting, and hematemesis-have been reported, but the CT findings have not been described. We report the CT findings in a case of gastric polyarteritis nodosa, and correlate these with the histopathologic findings.
