ABSTRACT
Livedoid vasculitis (LV) is a chronic recurrent cutaneous disease that is characterized by a netlike vascular pattern of purpuric lesions that progress to ulcers and atrophic white scars. The etiology of LV is unknown. Various therapies have been used for LV with inconsistent results, including antiplatelet agents, fibrinolytics, anticoagulants, prostaglandin E1, and immunosuppressive agents, such as systemic corticosteroids, azathioprine, methotrexate, cyclosporine, and mycophenolate mofetil. We present a patient with idiopathic LV refractory to immunosuppressive therapy who had a good response to treatment with rituximab and cyclophosphamide.
