Abstract

Cutaneous periarteritis nodosa is a chronic and benign vascular disease in which cutaneous lesions are perdominent without visceral involvement. We report a case of cutaneous periarteritis nodoas in a 8-year-old boy who presinted tender plaque with hemorrhagic ulceration and telangiectatic patches on the inner side of the right thigh with no visceral involvement. Histologic examination showed panarteritis of small and medium-sized arteries at the dermal-subcutaneous junction. The patient was treated with prednisolone and dapsone with a good clinical response.
