摘要
A 22 year old female patient presented with recurrent erythematous large confluent plaques with central ulcerations that were partly covered by crusts. In addition she had brownish maculae representing post inflammatory hyperpigmentation. The painful lesions are found in the maleolar region and the backs of both feet. The episodic disease first presented at age 11. Histologic analysis reveals luminal deposition of fibrin in the microcapillaries of the upper dermis. Livedoid vasculopathy was diagnosed. Treatment with low-molecular-weight heparin stopped the progression of ulceration.
