Purpura, thrombocytopenic (detailed illustration): fresh haemorrhages are marked by arrows; yellowish haemosiderin deposits are circled and marked by stars.
Purpura, thrombocytopenic: colorful picture with fresh, punctiform, red bleedings as well as older, yellowish, hemosiderotic inclusions (see following figure)
Spider veins: Dark blue-red, 0.5-1.0 mm thick, tortuous dilated venules with irregular, ampulla or nodular ectasia on the medial left thigh of a 69-year-old woman.
Erythema chronicum migrans. large plaque, which has been growing steadily on the periphery for about 8 months, only slightly increased in consistency, homogeneously brownish in the centre, somewhat atrophic, marked by an increasingly consistent erythema zone at the edges. only occasionally "slight pricking" in the lesional skin.
Malformations, syndromal vascular: Nevus flammeus (capillary malformation, no arterio-venous anastomoses) with soft tissue atrophy and pelvic obliquity, no pain symptoms.
Vasculitis, leukocytoclastic (non-IgA-associated). multiple, acute, symmetric, localized on both lower legs for 1 week, irregularly distributed, 0.1-0.2 cm large, sharply defined, symptomless, red, smooth patches (non-compressible). Occurrence after flu-like infection and ingestion of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory.
Phospholipid-antibody syndrome. In the area of the lower leg and the ankle region of a 35-year-old woman localized, older, streaky, whitish scar areas which are surrounded by a yellowish-brownish coloration (postinflammatory hyperpigmentation). In the transition area to the sole of the foot a reticular, reddish-brown vascular drawing (Livedo racemosa) is impressive on the inside. Secondary findings are arterial hypertension. Several miscarriages are known from history.
Vasculitis, leukocytoclastic (non-IgA-associated). multiple, since 1 week existing, on both lower legs localized, irregularly distributed, 0.1-0.2 cm large, confluent in places, symptomless, red, smooth spots (not compressible).
Vasculitis leukocytoclastic (non-IgA-associated): multiple, since about 1 week existing, localized on both lower legs, irregularly distributed, 0.1-0.2 cm large, confluent in places, symptomless, red, smooth spots (not compressible).
Ecchymosis syndrome, painful seti 6 months of recurrent, painful, extensive skin bleeding on the abodes and extremities in an otherwise healthy 69-year-old female patient
erythema chronicum migrans. shown here is a finding about 3 months old. approx. 10 days after (rememberable) puncture, a painless, non-itching circular erythema developed, only moderately well distinguishable from normal skin. 3 months later the doctor was consulted.
Spider veins. 35-year-old female patient. The linear erythema (compressible by glass spatula pressure) has been developing increasingly since the second pregnancy two years ago. Linear, red spider vein structure (linear erythema) starting from a ?source point?, which branches off in places to form a net-like formation.
