A patient who showed a disseminated pustular eruption compatible with pustular vasculitis and concomitant bullous lesions with the features of superficial bullous pyoderma gangrenosum during an exacerbation of ulcerative colitis is described. These clinical findings could be an expression of a common immunopathogenic mechanism of inflammatory bowel disease and the neutrophilic dermatoses. It is suggested that pustular vasculitis is another skin manifestation of ulcerative colitis.

A patient with Wilson's disease who developed elastosis perforans serpiginosa and localized cutis laxa during prolonged treatment with D-penicillamine is described. Induction of elastosis perforans serpiginosa and of cutis laxa by D-penicillamine may be due to a similar mechanism.
A case of allergic vasculitis of the skin following treatment with Decapeptyl (D-Trp6-LHRH) for in vitro fertilization is described. The possible role of an allergic mechanism in this reaction has been suggested by a positive macrophage migration inhibition factor (MIF) test toward the drug.
