Antineutrophilic cytoplasmic antibody-associated vasculitis and malignant hemopathies, a retrospective study of 16 cases

Conclusion The association of ANCA-associated vasculitis and malignant hemopathy is rare but must nevertheless be recognized because: (i) the clinical signs of both pathologies are not specific, (ii) the survival scores that are used for ANCA-associated vasculitis do not appear to be applicable, (iii) both pathologies must be taken into account in order to implement an effective therapeutic strategy that limits the inherent risks.
