Popis: Macular lymphocytic arteritis (MLA) is an indolent cutaneous small-medium-vessel vasculitis characterized by widespread asymptomatic livedo racemosa. A number of serologic abnormalities have been reported including an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate and antibodies associated with antiphospholipid antibody syndrome. We present a case of MLA with multiple serologic abnormalities, including those that have yet to be reported, such as anti-U1 ribonucleotide protein, anti-RNA polymerase III, anti-smith, and anti-proteinase 3 antibodies. We also provide a brief review of this unfamiliar entity with a focus on the appropriate workup.
