Vasculitis are a group of diseases that are characterized by the presence of inflammation in and around the wall of the blood vessels. This produces necrosis and inflammation where the extension of the injury depends on the size and location of the affected vessel. They can have manifestations in any organ, so they are considered systemic diseases. Primary vasculitis are uncommon pathologies and difficult to diagnose because its signs and symptoms are nonspecific and are easily confused with many other disease processes such as infectious, neoplastic or connective tissue. Because of this, it is important to combine clinical, radiological, histopathological and laboratory findings to achieve a correct diagnosis. In this review, we will focus on the role of imaging findings on the diagnosis and monitoring for pulmonary and abdominal manifestations of the most frequent vasculitis.
