Erstmanifestation einer leukozytoklastischen Vaskulitis im Dickdarm: Fallbericht und differenzialdiagnostische Überlegungen

Zusammenfassung

Berichtet wird über eine Patientin mit chronischer Diarrhö, die 8 Wochen nach Beginn der gastrointestinalen Symptomatik palpable Purpura an den unteren Extremitäten entwickelte. In den Biopsien von Dickdarm und Haut kann eine leukozytoklastische Vaskulitis nachgewiesen werden. Mögliche Auslöser oder zugrunde liegende Erkrankungen können nicht gefunden werden; es kommt zu einer Spontanremission. In Folge werden mögliche Differenzialdiagnosen diskutiert und die Schwierigkeit der Einteilung der Vaskulitiden aufgezeigt.

Abstract

This report presents a female patient suffering from chronic diarrhea, who developed palpable purpura on the lower extremities 8 weeks after onset of the gastrointestinal symptoms. Biopsies obtained from the colon and skin showed leukocytoclastic vasculitis. Possible triggers or underlying diseases could not be found, and the patient recovered without specific treatment for vasculitis. Possible differential diagnoses and the difficulties in classifying vasculitides are discussed in the present report.
