    Author: Hu PJ, Shih IM, Hutchins GM, Hellmann DB.
    Journal: J Rheumatol; 1997 Oct; 24(10):2042-4. PubMed ID: 9330952.
    Abstract:
    A 74-year-old white woman with diffuse myalgias, low grade fever, and pericardial effusion was found to have polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) in a pericardiectomy specimen. This diagnosis was confirmed at autopsy. Although pericardial involvement in PAN has been described, this is the first report of PAN diagnosed in a pericardiectomy specimen.
