Article Abstract
In this case report, we present a female patient with neutrophilic dermatosis (ND) occurring as palpable purpura after using montelukast. Neutrophilic dermatoses (NDs) are characterized by skin lesions in which mature neutrophils are predominantly located in the epidermis and dermis in the absence of any infective pathology. Classification of the NDs is based upon the recognition of clinical and pathologic features, as well as the identification of associated diseases, like Sweet's syndrome, pyoderma gangrenosum, generalized pustular psoriasis, and Behçet's disease. Cutaneous findings in NDs are variable and can include vesiculopustules, plaques, nodules, or ulcerations. Drug-induced NDs are not uncommon, but ND with palpable purpura is uncommon. The current patient appeared with a rare presentation as palpable purpura without vasculitis regarding ND. It is important that this is the first case report.

Polyangiitis overlap syndrome (POS) is a systemic vasculitis characterized by overlapping features of more than one well-defined vasculitic syndrome. We present the case of a 38-year-old Malay man with progressive dyspnea and palpable purpura in his lower limbs. The diagnostic evaluation revealed right-sided segmental pulmonary consolidation with pleural effusion, systolic cardiac dysfunction with the presence of an intracardiac thrombus, and left vocal cord palsy secondary to laryngeal mononeuropathy.

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.
