Abstract:
Three cases of necrotizing vasculitis clinically showing bullous skin lesions and histopathologically confirmed as leukocytoclastic vasculitis are reported. Compared with those of skin -limited non-bullous forms of cutaneous vasculitis, these cases showed relatively frequent abnormalities in urinalysis and required more aggresive corticosteriod therapy. Clinicians should be aware of the possible systemic involvements when the skin lesions are bullous in cutaneous necrotizing vasculitis.
