Livedo (livedoid) vasculitis and the factor V Leiden mutation: additional evidence for abnormal coagulation.
We report the case of a patient with livedo vasculitis associated with the factor V Leiden mutation. This association provides additional support for abnormalities of coagulation in patients with this disorder. The spectrum of platelet, coagulation, and fibrinolytic disorders reported with livedo vasculitis is reviewed.
