摘要

We report a case of muscular polyarteritis nodosa in a 23-year-old man with no past medical history presenting with diffuse myalgias, weight loss, fatigue, hypertension, and elevated C-reactive protein. Normal creatine kinase and electromyography contributed to a delayed diagnosis. MRI-guided muscular biopsy confirmed necrotizing vasculitis. Corticosteroid therapy led to rapid improvement.
