Case Studies

A case of systemic polyarteritis nodosa with spermatic cord involvement

Nicol C Bush, Kelly M Maxwell, Nabeel Hamoui and Peter Colegrove

Polyarteritis nodosa is a rare systemic necrotizing vasculitis that requires urgent treatment. Asymptomatic scrotal involvement is relatively common, although symptomatic involvement is rarer. In this Case Study, Bush and colleagues highlight how urological evaluation including scrotal biopsy can enable rapid diagnosis of the disease and allow appropriate immunosuppressive therapy to be administered in a timely manner.

Until print versions of AOP papers are published, they should be cited in the style "Authorname A et al. (year) Title of article.

Once the print version (identical to the AOP) is published, it should be cited as follows: "Authorname A et al. (year) Title of article. Nat Clin Pract Urol Vol: xxx–xxx, advance online publication, [doi:10.1038/ncpuroxxxx]".
