Abstract
Case presentation: We report a case of erythematoviolaceous cutaneous plaques in an uncommon location (abdomen and dorsum) in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis and without other disorders such as atherosclerotic disease, macromastia and smoking.
Discussion and conclusion: It is believed that ischemia or inflammation creates local hypoxia, leading to an increase in pro-angiogenic cytokines with subsequent endothelial proliferation and neovascularization. We report a case of a patient with rheumatoid arthritis (autoimmune disease) who presented with an asymptomatic cutaneous violaceous and roundish lesion in the trunk that may be related to diffuse dermal angiomatosis.
