Abstract

We report the case of a 15-year-old woman with aortitis syndrome complicated by cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa. She developed painful erythematous skin nodules and ulcers in her lower extremities. A biopsy specimen from her leg revealed necrotizing vasuculitis of the small arteries at the dermal-subcutaneous border. There was a coexistense of two different types of vasculitis in the same patient. This case was thus considered to fulfill the criteria for polyangiitis overlap syndrome.
