Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) are a collection of diseases, characterised by destruction and inflammation of small and medium vessels. Microscopic Polyangiitis (MPA) is part of an ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV).The clinical signs diverge and disturb a number of organs such as the kidneys, lungs, stomach and intestine. Skin manifestations such as purpuric, urticarial, nodular, ulcerative, livedoid and necrotic skin lesions were common as in other vaso-occlusive disorder. Morphology and added features aid the diagnostic approach. Here, we report a diagnostically challenging case of microscopic polyangiitis with progressive glomerulonephritis.
Keywords: Microscopic polyangiitis; leukocytoclastic vasculitis; ANCA.
