Dermatological semiology of Cutaneous Vasculitis
Clinicopathologic correlations
• Purpura, papules, pustules, necrosis: involvement of small vessels
• Nodules, livedo, necrosis : involvement of smooth muscle wall vessels (medium-sized vessel)
Identification of causes in the context of cutaneous vasculitis
• Cutaneous leukocytoclastic angiitis (40%)
• Drug-induced vasculitis (20%)
• Connective tissue disease (10%) : SLE +++
• IgA vasculitis (10%)
• Necrotizing vasculitis (5%): PAN > GPA, EGPA
• Solid cancers/hemopathies (4%)
• Cryoglobulinemia vasculitis (3%)
• Infections (1-2%)
• Other: IBD, sarcoidosis, .
