Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) is a very rare immune complex-mediated condition affecting the small vessels walls. We present the case of a 48-year-old woman with necrotizing bilateral breast LCV on treatment with glatiramer acetate for multiple sclerosis. Bilateral mastectomies and debridement of the anterior abdominal wall were required due to the rapidly evolving necrotizing process. Rapid assessment and a multidisciplinary approach are fundamental in treating this rare life-threatening condition.
