Vasculitis confined to the peripheral nerve and skin: a variant of non‐systemic vasculitic neuropathy

We describe a patient presenting with vasculitic neuropathy associated with cutaneous vasculitis in the absence of other clinical or laboratory evidence of the underlying systemic vasculitis, and showing a favourable prognosis. Although the early proposed criteria for the diagnosis of non‐systemic v...
