Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is an entity associated with drugs, infections, cryoglobulinemia, and connective tissue diseases but can also be idiopathic, systemic, or organ localized. Moreover, LCV associated with drugs is a rare disorder. When it is present usually has an elevation of anti‐neutrophi...

Sumario:Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is an entity associated with drugs, infections, cryoglobulinemia, and connective tissue diseases but can also be idiopathic, systemic, or organ localized. Moreover, LCV associated with drugs is a rare disorder. When it is present usually has an elevation of anti‐neutrophil cytoplasmic antibody, most likely anti‐myeloperoxidase, which can be helpful to orient the diagnosis. We are presenting a 55‐year‐old female with a past medical history of diabetes mellitus (DM) and hyperlipidemia (HLD) who presented with a painful and pruritic rash localized in the abdomen and lower extremities that started 1 week after initiated atorvastatin for management of hyperlipidemia. This is the first case ever reported of leukocytoclastic vasculitis ANCA negative associated with atorvastatin, to our best knowledge.
