Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Internal Medicine
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Livedo reticularis (LR) is a distinctive skin finding associated with various internal diseases.
  • In adults, these conditions often involve vessel wall disease or intravascular obstruction.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To highlight the association between livedo reticularis and internal diseases.
  • To emphasize the importance of evaluating patients with LR for underlying systemic conditions.

Main Methods:

  • Review of clinical presentations and associated pathologies of livedo reticularis.
  • Discussion of diagnostic approaches, including patient history, physical examination, and laboratory screening.

Main Results:

  • Livedo reticularis is frequently linked to conditions like lupus erythematosus.

  • The presence of LR and anticardiolipin antibodies may signify serious cerebrovascular and renal disease.
  • Key laboratory tests include complete blood count, coagulation profile, and autoimmune markers.

    • Conclusions:

    • Evaluating patients with livedo reticularis requires a comprehensive approach.
    • Identifying associated internal diseases is critical for patient management and prognosis.
