Abstract

Polyarteritis nodosum belongs to a group of inflammatory disorders characterized by necrotizing vasculitis of small and medium-sized blood vessels. To date, there are 14 publications that document involvement of the breast. Our publication is the second study documenting polyarteritis nodosum of the breast in a patient who had previously had augmentation mammoplasty.
