Livedoid vasculopathy (also known as "Livedoid vasculitis", "Livedo reticularis with summer/winter ulceration" and "Segmental hyalinizing vasculitis")[1] is a chronic cutaneous disease seen predominantly in young to middle-aged women. One synonym used to describe its features is "Painful purpuric ulcers with reticular pattern of the lower extremities" (PURPLE).[1][2]
It can be divided into a primary (or idiopathic) form and a secondary form, which has been associated with a number of diseases, including chronic venous hypertension and varicosities.[3]:343[4]
