Abstract

Five patients were diagnosed with livedo vasculitis (LV) based upon pathological findings such as thick-walled, small blood vessels with fibrin thrombi in the superficial dermis (males, 2; females: 3; mean period of illness, 3.4 years). Despite being refractory to several kinds of treatment including antiplatelet therapy, the painful leg ulcerations of the cases responded dramatically to oral warfarin sodium therapy. Treatment with warfarin may be beneficial therapy for patients with LV resistant to antiplatelet and vasodilator drugs.
