Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is a small vessel vasculitis which is often secondary to drugs, infections, connective tissue disorders or malignancy. It shares similarities with other vasculitis/ connective tissue disorders such as IgA vasulitis and systemic lupus erythematosus. Careful clinical analysis is warranted to differentiate this entity from other overlying disorders. Here, we discuss a case of a young adult female who presented to us with bilateral lower limb purpura, which proved to be a diagnostic quandary for the treating physicians.

Keywords: Systemic lupus erythematosus, Leukocytoclastic vasculitis, IgA Vasculitis.
