Abstract

Background: Cutaneous vasculitisis a condition with various aetiologies, morphological and histopathologic patterns. Skin biopsy is the gold standard in diagnosis and helps in guiding further investigations and treatment. Based on the type of vessel disrupted by inflammation (small and/or medium), the distribution of vasculitis in the dermis and subcutis, and the predominate inflammatory cell-type mediating vessel wall damage, a list of relevant differential diagnoses can be generated. This study aimed to analyzed the spectrum of histopathological patterns and to determine the correlation with morphology.
