Background: Macular arteritis, macular lymphocytic arteritis (MLA) or lymphocytic thrombophilic arteritis all correspond to an identical new clinicopathological entity. Its individualization as a primary cutaneous lymphocytic arteritis is still controversial for certain authors as it could represent a latent form of cutaneous polyarteritis nodosa. Materials and Methods: We report here 3 additional cases of MLA, present a review of the literature and discuss the disease's nosology. Results: MLA is characterized clinically by a benign skin eruption consisting in bilateral asymptomatic erythematous/hyperpigmented macules mainly located on the lower legs and histologically by a medium-sized cutaneous lymphocytic prominent arteritis present in early cutaneous lesions. Conclusion: These findings support that MLA may be considered as a chronic and indolent primary lymphocytic cutaneous arteritis. Nevertheless, in some cases the objective obliteration of cutaneous vessels underlines the need for continuous monitoring in MLA patients. © 2013 S. Karger AG, Basel [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
