“…The association between IBD and vasculitis is well known but poorly understood. Microvascular vasculitic extraintestinal manifestations associated with IBD have included necrotizing vasculitis of the skin,70 lung, and penis; chronic polyneuropathy; iritis; and polyserositis, which, in rare cases, may precede the onset of the gastrointestinal manifestation of the disease. Neurologic complications associated with Crohn's disease include multiple sclerosis and cerebral vasculitis 71…”

“…Pyoderma gangrenosum is particularly troublesome in patients with ulcerative colitis, with an incidence of between 1 % and 5 % (Basler 1980). Severe pyoderma gangrenosum can be associated with acute colitis and in our series, has been a principal indication for total colectomy in two patients.…”

“…The etiology of LV with UC is not clear; a partial defect of immunity common to the skin and intestines has been suggested11. The causes of immune activation are believed to be due to the presence of antigens related to infectious agents, drugs, neoplasia, food, or autoantigens12.…”

Annular Leukocytoclastic Vasculitis in a Patient with Ulcerative Colitis

et al. 2011

Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LV) is characterized by neutrophilic invasion and fibrinoid necrosis along with endothelial enlargement in postcapillary venules. Annular appearance of LV (ALV) is rare, but it can be accompanied by several systemic diseases. One of these systemic diseases is ulcerative colitis (UC), a subgroup of inflammatory bowel disease. Only one case was previously reported in which ALV was associated with UC, and herein we present one more case. A 66-year-old woman presented with painful polycyclic erythema on both palms, which had been present for 4 days. She had suffered from UC for 5 years. The patient had no fever or other systemic symptoms, and histological examination demonstrated typical LV. 200 mg of oral dapsone was taken daily to rapidly reduce her symptoms and signs, and after 1 week all lesions resolved completely without any adverse events. ALV is not a distinct condition and it can appear in a broad range of small vessel vasculitides. Although ALV in patients with UC is a very rare combination, clinicians need to be aware of this possible association.
