In 1852, Rokitansky4 described the macroscopic lesions of the disease, and in 1877, Eppinger5 confirmed the diagnosis by studying the microscopic sections of that case.In a review of the literature in 1914,6a total of 38 cases of periarteritis nodosa was encountered. Of these, five...Bibliography1.
