Abstract

Livedoid vasculopathy is a rare disease related to a hypercoagulable state. It can lead to painful and chronic relapsing ulcerations. We report dermoscopic findings of early, non-ulcerated livedoid vasculopathy in five patients. A mixture of ivory-white atrophic areas with multiple erythematous papules in the center of the lesions is characteristic. With dermoscopy, these papules correspond to glomerular vessels. In the periphery of the lesions some telangiectatic linear vessels complete the picture, although they could be absent in some patients.
