• Results and discussion Initial investigations showed mild anaemia, but normal neutrophils, platelets, liver and renal function. Dermatologists performed the biopsy, which showed neutrophil and lymphocyte infiltrate with perivascular accentuation and focal leukocytoclasis within the dermis and subcutaneous adipose tissue. General physicians may benefit from greater dermatology in-reach advice and access to skin biopsy techniques in order to improve patient outcomes, as shown in this case.
