- Abstract
Cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa is a vasculitis with characteristic manifestations like tender subcutaneous nodules, livedo reticularis, cutaneous ulcers and necrosis. Diagnosis requires histopathologic evidence of necrotizing inflammation of the medium and small arteries. We report a six year old girl with cutaneous PAN with gangenous changes of the fingertips which responded to methylprednisolone.
