Abstract

Leukocytoclastic vasculitis associated with renal cell carcinoma has been rarely reported. We report the case of a 54-year-old man with end stage renal disease who presented with skin lesions histologically diagnosed as leukocytoclastic vasculitis. During analysis of the cause of vasculitis, renal cell carcinoma combined with acquired cystic kidney disease was detected. After renal arterial embolization for treatment of renal cell carcinoma, the vasculitic lesions disappeared.
