This study reviews 14 cases of cutaneous vasculitis, emphasizing hypersensitivity angiitis. Identifying the cause and extent of vasculitis is crucial for effective treatment, often involving immunosuppressive drugs.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pathology
  • Rheumatology

Background:

  • Cutaneous vasculitis presents with diverse clinical and histopathological features.
  • Hypersensitivity angiitis is the most common form of cutaneous vasculitis.
  • Diagnosis requires skin biopsy to confirm vasculitis and assess systemic involvement.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To present clinical and histopathological findings of 14 cutaneous vasculitis cases.
  • To highlight the importance of identifying the underlying cause of vasculitis.
  • To guide treatment strategies based on vasculitis etiology and systemic involvement.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 14 patient cases with cutaneous vasculitis.
  • Review of clinical presentations and histopathological findings from skin biopsies.

  • Evaluation of identified triggers and treatment responses.

    • Main Results:

    • Hypersensitivity angiitis was the most frequent diagnosis.
    • Exogenous (drugs, infections) and endogenous (neoplasia, connective tissue disease) triggers were identified.
    • Systemic involvement was a key consideration in treatment planning.

    Conclusions:

    • Confirmation of vasculitis via skin biopsy necessitates a thorough search for its cause and systemic extension.
    • Persistent cutaneous vasculitis requires investigation for exogenous or endogenous triggers.
    • Treatment may involve antihistamines or immunosuppressive drugs like corticosteroids or cyclophosphamide, especially in systemic cases.
