Cutaneous leukocytoclastic vasculitis (CLV) is an inflammatory vascular disorder rarely reported to be associated with tuberculosis. The following report describes the case of a young man with multifocal tuberculosis revealed by CLV. Diagnosis was confirmed by the presence of tuberculoid granuloma with caseous necrosis on pleural and perianal biopsy, and a rapid improvement in anti-tuberculous quadritherapy. Although rarely seen, Mycobacterium tuberculosis should be considered as a potential cause of CLV.

When an understanding of pathogenesis exists, skin lesions that have the appearance of blood in the skin can provide insight into the mechanisms leading to a systemic process that results in cutaneous manifestations. Of the vascular disturbances of the skin that occur in critically ill patients, some result from a non-hemorrhagic process while occurs represent bleeding into the skin. The lesions of livedo, petechiae, purpura, and ecchymoses can be approached from such a perspective.

Patients with granulomatosis with polyangiitis occasionally present with cutaneous manifestations, which are important clues for the early diagnosis. Although pyoderma gangrenosum-like ulcers are rarely observed, a unique case with unusual clinical features is presented herein. A 75-year-old woman with positive proteinase 3-antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (PR3-ANCA) repeatedly developed aseptic abscesses on the abdomen, buttock, lower legs, and forearms.

Article Synopsis
- Urticarial vasculitis (UV) is a rare condition that can range from mild skin issues to serious systemic problems, and recent research focuses on its causes, diagnosis, and treatment options.
- New triggers for UV associated with SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 vaccines have been noted, along with a new clinical-dermoscopic method for diagnosis that reduces reliance on skin biopsies.
- Treatments such as antihistamines, corticosteroids, and rituximab show promise for success and long-lasting remission, while epidemiological studies show good survival rates but highlight certain severe health issues that can increase mortality.
