SUMMARY Livedo reticularis is common as a symptomatic expression of underlying disease, or as an entity without discoverable cause. With livedo reticularis, leg ulceration of painful and intractible type can occur. A patient is described, in whom such ulcers improved rapidly and almost completely, with Azathioprine and Prednisolone therapy.
