Abstract
Annular leukocytoclastic vasculitis is rare, and the mechanisms underlying annularity and peripheral spread as well as the aetiology remain unexplained. This form of vasculitis with unusual clinical features may constitute a new entity in the subclass of immune complex small vessel vasculitis within the Chapel Hill classification. While the aetiology and physiopathology of this vasculitis are unknown, despite the possibility of recurrence, skin involvement appears isolated and the condition carries a good prognosis.
