Successful coil embolization of a ruptured hepatic aneurysm in a patient with polyarteritis nodosa accompanied by angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma

Masahiro Nakashima et al. Clin Rheumatol. 2007 Aug.

Abstract

Polyarteritis nodosa (PN) occasionally develops in association with malignant disorders. A 71-year-old man suddenly suffered from bleeding due to the rupture of a hepatic artery aneurysm. The ruptured lesion was embolized endovascularly by coiling, and the bleeding was stopped. A biopsy of the right inguinal lymph node demonstrated angioimmunoblastic T cell lymphoma (AITL). He received immunosuppressive treatment with transient response, although he relapsed 4 months later. To our knowledge, this is the first case of which PN was associated with AITL.
