Vasculitis leucocitoclástica cutánea y carcinoma renal

ResumenLa asociación entre vasculitis leucocitoclástica y tumores sólidos como el carcinoma renal se ha descrito con poca frecuencia. Presentamos el caso de una mujer de 76 años que empezó con lesiones cutáneas en piernas clínica e histológicamente diagnosticadas de vasculitis leucocitoclástica y a la que, en el transcurso del estudio del cuadro, se le diagnosticó un carcinoma renal. Tras la extirpación del tumor renal, las lesiones de vasculitis desaparecieron sin recidiva en el seguimiento.

The association between leukocytoclastic vasculitis and solid tumors like renal carcinoma has been infrequently described. We present the case of a 76-year-old woman who began with skin lesions on the legs that were clinically and histologically diagnosed as leukocytoclastic vasculitis. During analysis of the symptoms, she was diagnosed with renal carcinoma. After the tumor was excised, the vasculitis lesions disappeared, with no recurrence during the follow-up period.
