Antineutrophil cytoplasmic antibody (ANCA)-associated vasculitis (AAV) are a collection of diseases, characterised by destruction and inflammation of small and medium vessels. Microscopic Polyangiitis (MPA) is part of an ANCA-associated vasculitis (AAV).The clinical signs diverge and disturba number of organs such as the kidneys, lungs, stomach and intestine. Skin manifestations such as purpuric, urticarial, nodular, ulcerative, livedoid and necrotic skin lesions were common as in other vaso-occlusive disorder. Morphology and added features aid the diagnostic approach. Here, we report a diagnostically challenging case of microscopic polyangiitis with progressive glomerulonephritis.
