Abstract
Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is an entity that has been associated with
drugs, infections, cryoglobulinemia, and connective tissue diseases but
can also be idiopathic, as well as, systemic, or organ localized.
Moreover, LVC associated with drugs is a rare disorder. When it is
present usually has an elevation of Anti-Neutrophil Cytoplasmic
Antibody, most likely anti-myeloperoxidase which can be helpful to
orient the diagnosis.
We are presenting a 55-year-old female with a past medical history of
diabetes mellitus (DM) and hyperlipidemia (HLD) who presented with a
painful and pruritic rash localized in the abdomen and lower extremities
that started one week after initiated atorvastatin for management of
hyperlipidemia.
This is the first case ever reported of Leukocytoclastic vasculitis ANCA
negative associated with atorvastatin, to our best knowledge.
