Two cases of polyarteritis nodosa (PAN) in patients with familial Mediterranean fever (FMF) are reported. These and another 11 cases found in the literature suggest that PAN occurs more commonly in patients with FMF than would be expected in the general population. Perirenal hematoma, which is surprisingly high in patients with FMF, is a life threatening complication of PAN. The diagnosis of PAN in patients with FMF may be delayed due to the similarity of the clinical manifestations of both diseases.
报告了两例家族性地中海热（FMF）患者并发结节性多动脉炎（PAN）的病例。这些病例以及文献中发现的另外11例病例表明，PAN在FMF患者中的发生率高于一般人群的预期。肾周血肿在FMF患者中出奇地高发，是PAN的一种危及生命的并发症。由于两种疾病临床表现相似，FMF患者中PAN的诊断可能会延迟。
