RECURRENT UNILESIONAL LEUKOCYTOCLASTIC VASCULITIS OVER A 24-YEAR-PERIOD

Leukocytoclastic vasculitis usually presents with multiple skin lesion s. A 49-year-old man with a history of recurrent episodes of a single lesion localized on the distal part of the lower legs or proximal dors al part of the feet is presented. Physical examination during a recurr ence revealed a superficial erythematous bulla on the frontal part of the left lower leg. Some atrophic scars on the lower part of both the legs were also present. The lesion healed spontaneously within four to six weeks, leaving an atrophic round scar. Histopathology and immunof luorescence showed typical features of leukocytoclastic vasculitis. Th e recurrent unilesional skin manifestation makes this case a really un ique one.
