Abstract
The main histopathologic findings can be summarized as follows:
-
Main findings: vasculitis affecting all sizes of blood vessels including arteries and veins
-
Types: leukocytoclastic vasculitis, Sweet’s-like vasculitis, lymphocytic vasculitis
-
Ultrastructural changes: specific degeneration of vascular endothelial cells, vascular stenosis, thrombus formation, lymphocyte-mediated fat cell lysis
