A woman in her 70s presented with a 3-month history of episodic fever and painless cutaneous lesions on her lower limbs. The patient otherwise felt well and denied malaise, weight loss, or any other symptoms. She did not have any known benign inflammatory conditions. Physical examination showed indurated plaques with multiple telangiectasias (, A and B) on almost all the surface of the legs. Except for slightly elevated C-reactive protein levels, the results of other routine blood and urine tests were unremarkable. A skin biopsy specimen was obtained for histopathology examination (, C and D).
