title: Radiologic findings of abdominal polyarteritis nodosa.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiographic and imaging findings of seven patients with polyarteritis nodosa involving the abdomen.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Vasculitis should be considered when multiple abdominal organs have abnormal radiologic findings; however, angiography is necessary to specifically diagnose polyarteritis nodosa.
