Abstract
Livedoid vasculopathy is a chronic and painful skin disease that progresses to ulceration. Due to its uncertain pathogenesis, there is no single effective treatment for this condition, and current therapeutic options are based on isolated case reports, or on case series. We report a case of a female patient with livedoid vasculopathy, which achieved excellent healing of lower limb ulcers after using an anti-TNF agent.Entities:
