Pregnancy-associated annular vasculitis, a rare skin condition, presented as a calf rash in a pregnant woman. The eruption resolved post-delivery, indicating a link to pregnancy.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Obstetrics
  • Pathology

Background:

  • Pregnancy can trigger various dermatological conditions.
  • Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is an inflammatory condition affecting small blood vessels.

Observation:

  • A 29-year-old pregnant woman at 31 weeks gestation developed a bilateral, erythematous rash on her posterior calves.
  • The rash clinically mimicked erythema annulare centrifugum.
  • A skin biopsy revealed mild leukocytoclastic vasculitis.

Findings:

  • The patient's rash significantly improved within two days after delivery.
  • This temporal correlation suggests a pregnancy-related etiology for the vasculitis.
  • The condition was diagnosed as annular vasculitis, potentially a distinct variant of leukocytoclastic vasculitis.

Implications:

  • This case suggests annular vasculitis may be a distinct clinicopathological entity associated with pregnancy.
  • Further research is needed to understand the pathogenesis and prevalence of pregnancy-associated annular vasculitis.
  • This finding expands the spectrum of pregnancy-related dermatoses.
