Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is a small vessel vasculitis that is usually confined to the skin with rare extracutaneous manifestation.

description | Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is a small vessel vasculitis that is usually confined to the skin with rare extracutaneous manifestation. While this condition can be idiopathic, it has been linked with systemic autoimmune conditions, malignancies, infections, and drugs. In this paper, we present a case of a patient who presented with leukocytoclastic vasculitis many years after her diagnosis of rheumatoid arthritis. It is important that physicians investigate leukocytoclastic vasculitis, as the condition, while often idiopathic, can be a presentation of something more sinister such as malignancy or systemic autoimmune condition. |
