Livedoid vasculopathy - a challenging disease.

We present a rare association of idiopathic livedoid vasculopathy (LV) with peripheral sensory neuropathy successfully treated with intravenous immunoglobulin and warfarin and, after its failure, with rituximab. Although LV aetiology remains incompletely understood, the excellent clinical response observed in our patient suggests that B cells may be key players in its pathogenesis.
