[Thromboangiitis obliterans associated with small-vessel vasculitis].
The existence of thromboangiitis obliterans has been questioned for some years. However, it is now accepted as a specific condition within the wide group of vasculitis. We report a patient with this condition, who, as usual, was a male smoker. The illness presented with thrombophlebitis migrans, which is an uncommon initial feature. The patient also had small vessel cutaneous vasculitis, which is an extremely uncommon association. We report the case and discuss some aspects of the etiology and pathogenesis of the disease.
