Polyarteritis nodosa and Sjögren’s syndrome: overlap syndrome

Polyangiitis overlap syndrome: cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis associated with polyarteritis nodosa.

A rare case of polyangiitis overlap syndrome is described. The patient was a 25-year-old man who had palpable purpura on his legs which showed leukocytoclastic vasculitis, and polyarteritis nodosa. Superior mesenteric arteriography showed microaneurysms in jejunal branches with focal segmental necrotizing arteritis of small and medium sized muscular arteries in the jejunum. Deposits of IgA and ...

There have since been a number of reports of a syndrome characterized clinically by a combination of intractable rhinitis or pulmonary symptoms, manifestat.ons of polyarteritis nodosa, and renal failure. Pathologically, the disease is recognized by the association of necrotizing granulomata of the respiratory...
