Abstract:
We report pathognomonic skin lesions of malignant atrophic papulosis, accompanied by lethal central nervous system and gastrointestinal disease in a 22-year-old black man. Histopathological studies of the brain and colon showed areas of infarction and an underlying vasculitis with leukocytoclasis.
