Abstract

Leukocytoclastic vasculitis of the skin comprises several distinct clinical syndromes, each with immune complex deposition and some form of complement activation. Necrotizing vasculitides of larger blood vessels also produce skin lesions. These can be distinguished morphologically from those of small vessel vasculitis. Analysis of the features of these lesions is discussed.
