Summary:Isolated genitalia polyarteritis nodosa presents more frequently with vaginal bleeding and is rarely associated with asymptomatic pelvic masses. [...]when the condition is found in the female genital tract, isolated polyarteritis nodosa is primarily found in the cervix, whereas systemic polyarteritis nodosa involves multifocal aspects of the female genital tract. The five-factor score revised in 2011 by the French Vasculitis Study Group showed that prognostic factors which predicted mortality include renal insufficiency (serum creatinine >1.58 mg/dL), proteinuria >1 g/day, gastrointestinal involvement, cardiomyopathy and age above 65 years. First-line corticosteroid therapy is able to achieve and maintain remission in about 50% of patients with mild non-hepatitis B- and C-related polyarteritis nodosa.
