Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis after Ceftriaxone Exposure: A Case Report and Literature Revie
Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis (LCV) characterizes various small vessel vasculitis types primarily affecting the skin, with occasional internal organ involvement. This inflammation involves immune-complex deposition within dermal capillaries and
venues. Although idiopathic in origin, potential triggers, including antibiotic-related factors, must be considered. LCV presents across a spectrum of severity, sometimes extending to ulcers. Diagnosis involves clinical assessment, history, lab tests,
and crucially, skin biopsy.
Paraneoplastic Urticarial Vasculitis and Recurrence of Prostatic Adenocarcinoma
Chronic urticaria is a common condition but its etiology can sometimes be serious. A variety of causes has been reported to induce
urticaria, like food, infections, drugs or environmental factors. Although an association between chronic urticarial and malignancy
has been occasionally reported, such association remains controversial because it’s difficult to demonstrate it’s not just coincidental.
However, various cancers have been described in connection with this skin pathology such as thyroid, pulmonary or renal carcinoma.
In all of these cases, treatment of the tumor led to prompt resolution of the urticarial lesions, thus suggesting a pathogenetic relationship
between the two. We report the case of a man treated for several months without success for chronic urticaria whose treatment of the
recurrence of his prostate cancer has removed the skin lesions.

Parry Romberg Syndrome: A Case Report

The syndrome presents with characteristic skeletal, dental, and soft tissue changes in the affected half of the face, with or without neurological signs and symptoms.
Vasculitis Associated with Chronic Lymphocytic Leukemia
A patient is present who has chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL) and developed a vasculitis involving the skin and large vessels along with immune complex mediated glomerulosclerosis. Both vasculitis and immune complex nephritis are rare manifestations of CLL.
Warfarin-Induced Tissue Necrosis (WITN): Case Report and Literature Review, A Proposed Name Change
Warfarin is the most frequently prescribed oral anticoagulant in the United States. Its indications range from treatment of deep venous thrombosis and pulmonary emboli to the prophylaxis and treatment of thromboembolic conditions associated with atrial fibrillation and cardiac valve replacement. While bleeding is the most commonly encountered complication warfarin induced skin necrosis (WISN) can be a rare complication. Extensive skin and deeper tissue necrosis may be encountered requiring multiple surgical debridement and reconstructive procedures along with the medical management.
