The majority of patients with microscopic polyangiitis have perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies, usually antimyeloperoxidase (anti-MPO) antibodies. This report describes the first case of perinuclear antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibodies (p-ANCA) associated vasculitis presenting as, and manifesting predominantly with, cholecystitis. We review the spectrum of disease in small and medium-sized vessel arteritis of the gallbladder from localized arteritis that may not require treatment other than careful observation for the development of systemic disease to multiorgan involvement requiring aggressive immunosuppressive therapy.<p> 15 10.1097/RHU.0b013e318194b299 Cardiovascular Diseases Gastrointestinal Diseases 15474 2 Journal of Clinical Rheumatology 2022-02-21T22:48:57.408-06:00 public Vasculitis of the gallbladder: case report and spectrum of disease 25528 document-rn19213 Drugs and Drug Therapy
