dc.description.abstract | Arteritis of the uterine cervix and corpus described here was an incidental finding at the routine histopathological examination of the hysterectomy specimen resected from a 62 year old female who underwent laparotomy for twisted ovarian cyst. Investigations and eleven months of follow up without any specific treatment for arteritis, have shown no systemic involvement. This case highlights that a knowledge of such isolated arteritis is of importance to the physician to avoid misdiagnosing it as polyarteritis nodosa and treat with systemic steroids. | en_US |
