Abstract

Benign Cutane Periarteritis Nodosa is a chronic, benign, and rarely seen vasculite that affects only the small, middle size arteries at the dermal-subcutan line and does not exhibit any systemic uptake. Noduler arterit is observed on its histopathology. In this article, we present a rarely observed case with a distinctive charecteristic of granulomatous structure.

Özet

Benign Kutane Periarteritis Nodoza; kronik, iyi seyirli ve sistemik tutulumun görülmediği, sadece dermal-subkutan sınırdaki küçük orta boy arterlerin etkilendiği nâdir bir vaskülittir. Histopatolojisinde nodüler arterit izlenmektedir. Biz granülomatöz yapı içermesi açısından farklılık arzeden ve bu özelliği ile az rastlanabilinecek bir olguyu sunuyoruz.
