폐 샘편평세포암의 첫 증상으로 발현된 피부 백혈구파괴혈관염 1예

초록

Leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LV) is a systemic inflammatory disorder involving the small vessels. The exact cause of LV remains unknown, yet malignancy has been considered as a causative factor for LV. We experienced a 60-year-old male with purpura on his extremities. Computed tomography of the chest showed a mass lesion that was suspected to be a non-small-cell lung cancer and the biopsy revealed an adenosquamous carcinoma. There has been no report of LV associated with adenosquamous carcinoma of the lung in Korea. Thus, we report here on this case along with a review of the relevant articles.
