title: [Necrotic papules on the abdomen].
abstract: The case described in this paper shows that malignant atrophic papulosis can occur in connection with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and should be interpreted as a cutaneous manifestation of APS. In patients with clinically suspected malignant atrophic papulosis, it is therefore vital to conduct more comprehensive diagnostic procedures to rule out APS.
