Urticarial vasculitis associated with polycythaemia rubra vera.
We report a case of urticarial vasculitis as the presenting feature of polycythaemia rubra vera. The cutaneous eruption resolved on correction of the polycythaemia by venesection. To our knowledge this is the first report of such an association.
