Supports multidisciplinary evaluation with punch biopsy for refractory leg ulcers; leaves open prospective validation of diagnostic yield in livedoid vasculopathy.
Case Report (n=1)
This case report emphasizes the need for a multidisciplinary approach to diagnose and manage livedoid vasculopathy effectively.
Padín et al. (2024) conducted a case report in Livedoid Vasculopathy (n=1). Multidisciplinary diagnostic workup and management was evaluated on Diagnosis and management of Livedoid Vasculopathy. A multidisciplinary diagnostic approach, including dermatology punch biopsy, successfully identified livedoid vasculopathy in a 78-year-old male with chronic non-healing leg ulcers.
