Addressing Diagnostic Challenges in Livedoid Vasculopathy: A Case Report on Interdisciplinary Management

Livedoid vasculopathy (LV) is a rare vascular disorder characterized by excessive thrombosis of cutaneous vasculature, leading to dermal vessel occlusion, skin hypoxia, and ulceration. The nonspecific nature of its clinical manifestations often complicates diagnosis and inadequate oxygenation results in lesions that take longer to heal and are more susceptible to infections and complications. Despite its impact on patient quality of life, LV remains largely undocumented in the literature, making effective management challenging. This case report highlights the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in the diagnosis and treatment of LV. We detail the diagnostic process, including relevant laboratory findings and imaging studies, as well as therapeutic interventions tailored to the patient's needs. The patient's medical history, medication regimen, and laboratory workup are included to assist the medical community in establishing associations between existing comorbidities and LV. By sharing this case, we aim to raise awareness of LV and promote timely diagnosis and effective management strategies to improve patient outcomes.
