Testicular involvement in rheumatoid vasculitis.
We report the case of an adult with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who developed biopsy-confirmed testicular involvement of vasculitis in the setting of mononeuritis multiplex. This unusual presentation of rheumatoid vasculitis was successfully treated with a combination of corticosteroids and cyclophosphamide.
