Abstract

Abstract: Cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa is a rare neutrophilic vasculitis. We present two cases that reflect the gamut of this disorder including one case whose delayed diagnosis led to permanent nerve deficit and scarring. Abstract : Cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa is a distinct entity different from polyarteritis nodosa that requires prompt recognition and treatment to prevent permanent neurological deficit and scarring.
