Zusammenfassung:	A 33-year-old man was admitted to our hospital because of intermittent claudication and finger tip ulceration with a skin rash on the upper and lower extremities. He later developed a massive melena. Angiography revealed arterial occlusion in the hand and foot, skin biopsy showed vasculitis with eosinophilic infiltration, and biopsy of the colon showed mucosal vasculitis with thrombosis. A diagnosis of polyangiitis overlap syndrome was made, and all these symptoms improved after corticosteroid therapy. (Internal Medicine 36: 524-527, 1997)
