    Journal: Rev Med Interne; 2002 Sep; 23(9):792-4. PubMed ID: 12378834.
    Abstract:
    INTRODUCTION: Systemic vasculitis presenting as a tumorlike lesion are unusual and affect mainly the uro-genital system and breast. Muscle-localized tumorlike periarteritis nodosa are scarce. EXEGESIS: We report localized tumorlike polyarteritis nodosa affecting the forearm muscles in a 90-year-old woman. CONCLUSION: Other cases of polyarteritis nodosa localized to muscles are reviewed. This limited form has a benign clinical course and responds promptly to treatment with corticosteroids alone but relapses may occur.
