AI Article Synopsis
- Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a type of vasculitis that causes inflammation of medium to small arteries, potentially affecting multiple organs, including the testes.
- Angiography can be used as a diagnostic method instead of tissue biopsy or surgery.
- This text discusses a case where angiographic findings show involvement of the testicular arteries in PAN, which has not been reported in previous studies.
Article Abstract
Polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) is a form of vasculitis characterized by necrotizing arteritis of medium or small arteries, and can involve any organ. Frequently, it affects multiple organs, but may sometimes be localized to single area such as the testes. Angiography can be a diagnostic alternative to tissue biopsy and surgery. Some previous studies have reported that presented the angiographic evidence of the involvement of the renal, hepatic, splenic, superior mesenteric, inferior mesenteric, and extremity arteries in PAN, but there are apparently no past reports of the involvement of the testicular arteries. We herein present angiographic findings of testicular artery involvement in PAN.
