Multiple sterile abscesses in antiphospholipid antibody syndrome

Antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) is a systemic disorder characteriz ed by elevated antiphospholipid antibodies and multiple-organ involvement. Reported cutaneous manifestations of APS include various skin lesions but n ot multiple sterile abscesses. We report a case of secondary APS with multi ple sterile abscesses as a novel cutaneous manifestation. We believe these abscesses should be included among the cutaneous symptoms of APS.
