Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis complicated by cutaneous small vessel vasculitis: A case report and literature review

Abstract

Acute generalized exanthematous pustulosis (AGEP) is a rare skin eruption characterized by widespread erythematous lesions covered with numerous pustules. Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is now considered an uncommon but possible histopathological feature within the clinical and pathological spectrum of AGEP. Our report describes a rare case of AGEP overlapping with cutaneous small vessel vasculitis, a condition that has only been reported once in the literature.
