We present a rare case of pustular vasculitis secondary to streptococcal infection. The majority of cases described in the literature predominantly involve the dorsal hands, and may subsequently spread to involve the lower limbs. However, our case demonstrates a rare case where primary involvement of the lower limbs was present with secondary involvement at the dorsum of the hands. The patient responded well to intravenous methylprednisolone reflected both clinically and by his acute phase response.

“…They speculated that local environmental factors, probably transient and subtle, such as trauma or stasis increase vas cular permeability, trapping circulating complexes with subsequent activation of complement and thus complete clinical features of this condition. McNeely et al [8] reported a case of pustular lesion on a purpuric base with a histologic feature resembling Sweet's or lcukocytoclastic vasculitis under the title of primary idiopathic cutaneous pustular vasculitis. The patient had no underlying systemic disease.…”

We report the case of a 51-year-old Japanese man with a unique pustulosis. He had multiple erythematous plaques and numerous pinpoint pustules on the trunk and extremities resembling pustular psoriasis. Histologic features revealed a fully developed intraepidermal abscess filled with neutrophils and disrupted epidermal keratinocytes. Mild leukocytosclastic vasculitis was seen in the underlying dermis. A direct immunofluorescence study revealed IgM, C1q, C3 and fibrinogen deposits in the dermal vessels. The patient had also sternoclavicular hyperostosis. We think that this represents a unique type of pustular vasculitis distinct from pustular psoriasis.

“…Primary idiopathic cutaneous pustular vasculitis (PICPV) is a rare clinical entity, which was first reported by McNeely et al in 1986 (1). The disease is characterized by tender, purpuric pustules that recur several times over a period of 3-4 months, histological findings of Sweet's-like vasculitis, the presence of circulating immune complexes, deposit of immune complex in blood vessels, and the absence of other diseases associated with pustular lesions.…”
