Article Abstract
Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is the most common form of cutaneous vasculitis. It is a neutrophilic small vessel vasculitis resulting from the deposition of circulating immune complexes. Henoch-Schonlein purpura is a systemic type of leukocytoclastic vasculitis, characterized by immunoglobulin A-mediated blood vessel injury. We present a case of Henoch-Schonlein purpura in an adult female manifesting with a vasculitic rash with Koebner phenomenon.

Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) is a type of vasculitis that affects small vessels and is commonly associated with infections, malignancies, drugs, and autoimmune diseases. In this case, a 75-year-old female patient presented with clinical signs of LCV, and after ruling out common etiologies, hydatid disease (HD) emerged as a potential cause. This case highlights the importance of considering parasitic infections, particularly HD, in the differential diagnosis of LCV, especially in regions where these infections are endemic and in patients exposed to relevant environmental risk factors.

Methotrexate (MTX) is widely utilized for the management of autoimmune diseases and neoplasms. It may cause several adverse effects, including myelosuppression, hepatitis, and mucositis, and in rare cases, can result in cutaneous vasculitis. We present a case involving a 60-year-old female patient receiving 5 milligrams (mg) of MTX weekly for the treatment of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

Granuloma faciale (GF) is a rare, idiopathic, localized vasculitis, usually without associated systemic autoimmune disease. Primarily involving the skin, GF can also occur on the ocular surface, mimicking neoplasia and other inflammatory processes. In this report, the authors report 2 novel cases of GF in the conjunctiva, and analyze the 4 published ocular cases to better appreciate the clinical and histopathologic features of GF involving the ocular surface, and to compare the findings with those in the skin.

Background: Hypocomplementemic urticarial vasculitis (HUV) syndrome is a rare form of small-vessel vasculitis characterized by a heterogeneous spectrum of clinical and biological findings. It is typically marked by chronic urticarial eruptions, hypocomplementemia and histopathological evidence of leukocytoclastic vasculitis. It may also involve multiple organ systems, with frequent articular, gastrointestinal, renal, and other systemic manifestations.

Steroid-induced pancreatitis (SIP) is a relatively uncommon diagnosis, as the main function of glucocorticoids is to decrease cellular inflammation and modulate the immune system. It is a diagnosis of exclusion with a multifactorial pathophysiology and can occur in the setting of treatment with steroids for various underlying conditions. While difficult to diagnose, it can cause patients great discomfort and lead to several complications if missed or treated inappropriately.
