Abstract
|
|
|
|
Antiphospholipid syndrome is defined as the presence of lupus anticoagulant antibodies or anticardiolipin antibodies with vascular thrombosis or specific pregnancy complications. Antiphospholipid syndrome can be associated with autoimmune, malignant or infectious diseases. Cutaneous manifestations of antiphospholipid syndrome are variable and can be a first clue to the syndrome or other associated diseases. We report a case of systemic lupus erythematosus and secondary antiphospholipid syndrome presenting as livedo reticularis on both legs of a patient. We recommend that patients with livedo reticularis should be examined for systemic lupus erythematosus or antiphospholipid syndrome.
