Abstract

Leukocytoclastic vasculitis is a rare disease characterized by neutrophil and immune-complex deposition in the small vessel walls. We report a 47-year-old female patient with leukocytoclastic vasculitis of the breast, presenting as breast edema on mammography, irregular hypoechoic lesion with central necrosis on ultrasonography and regionally distributed heterogeneous non-mass enhancement on magnetic resonance imaging.

백혈구 파괴 혈관염은 작은 혈관의 혈관벽에 중성구와 면역복합체의 침착이 생기는 드문 질환이다. 본 증례 보고에서는 47세 여성에서 우측 유방에 발생한 백혈구 파괴 혈관염의 사례를 다루고 있다. 유방 촬영술에서는 우측 유방의 부종으로 나타났고, 초음파에서는 중심 괴사를 동반한 불규칙 저에코 병변으로 보였으며, 자기공명영상에서는 국소분포하는 비균질 비종괴 조영증강을 보였다.
