| Popis: | Oxalosis is a disease caused by the deposition of calcium oxalate in extrarenal tissues, most commonly bone, myocardium, retina, blood vessels, and skin, causing the clinical manifestations of the disease. Involvement of the blood vessels of the skin can give rise to livedo reticularis, acrocyanosis, ulcers, and gangrene. We present the case of a 60-year-old woman with a history of recurrent renal lithiasis that had led to terminal renal failure requiring hemodialysis and, subsequently, peritoneal dialysis. The patient developed tender red-violaceous skin discoloration of sudden onset, consistent with livedo reticularis; the lesions progressed to form ulcers. Skin biopsy revealed oxalate vasculopathy. In this article we describe the characteristics of this rare disorder, its differentiation from calciphylaxis, and the therapeutic options. |
