Abstract
Vasculitis has been associated with malignancy, the association being strongest between haematological malignancies and cutaneous vasculitis. There is occasionally a temporal association; failure to respond appropriately to therapy should prompt a search for malignancy. Lesions suspicious of malignancy should be biopsied even if the diagnosis of vasculitis has been histologically proven.
