ABSTRACT

Systemic vasculitis are a heterogenous group of diseases affecting different organs and systems secondary to inflammation and injury of vassels.
We report a 44-year-old male patient, with diagnosis of granulomatosis with polyangiitis with mucocutaneous manifestations, presenting oral ulcers and palpable purpura on the lower extremities. He was admitted to Internal Medicine Service for diagnostic and therapeutic approach, with articular symptoms ash his initial clinical manifestation. During his hospitalization, cytoplasmic pattern (c-anca) neutrophil antibodies were positive and cutaneous biopsy was made reporting leukocytoclastic and neutrophilic vasculitis. The patient received treatment with systemic steroids and monoclonal antibody due to the severity of the condition.
