ABSTRACT
ABSTRACT Cutaneous collagenous vasculopathy (CCV) is a rare and idiopathic microangiopathy of superficial dermal blood vessels. There have been 75 cases described in the literature to date, not including the current report; however, given its clinical similarity to other primary telangiectasias, it is likely to be underreported and underdiagnosed. Here, we describe the clinical and histological features of 2 patients we newly diagnosed with CCV. Both generally fit the profile of prior cases and confirm previously described associations-they both are older White women, have rashes on their lower extremities, and have conditions and medications that are common among other reported cases. However, both are also somewhat atypical, as Patient 1 had symptomatic CCV and Patient 2 had a papular rash. As such, both cases broaden the spectrum of our current understanding of CCV. We also provide a comprehensive review of all published reports of CCV to date and uncover 2 previously unreported associations one with visceral malignancy, and the other with hypothyroidism. Whether these association are coincidental is worth investigating in future studies.
