Abstract
|
|
|
Cutaneous cholesterol embolism is a disease with severe arterosclerosis of the abdominal aorta in which emboli of cholesterol crystals from atheromatous plaques occlude arterioles. We report a case of cutaneous cholesterol embolism in a
61-year-old
man
who had livedo reticularis on both his feet for 10 days. Histopathologic findings showed needle-shaped cholesterol clefts within the lumina of arterioles. The patient died of myocardial infarction 3 months later. (Kor J Dermatol 1994 ; 32(3) :
528~531).
