Published in: Rheumatology International | Issue 7/2011

Abstract

The pathological features of adult-onset Still’s disease remain unclear. An original case study of the histopathological changes in various organs of a patient with the disorder is presented. Interstitial inflammation was found in the heart, lung, liver, mucosa of total alimentary canal, and urinary bladder. Previous reports that involved the pathology of visceral organs are also reviewed.
