Résumé
Cutaneous small vessel leukocytoclastic vasculitis (LCV) is isolated to the dependent areas of the skin. LCV can be induced by pharmaceutical drugs, and management requires abrupt discontinuation of the offending drug. Warfarin is a rare medication to cause LCV, with sparse literature to date. Here, we present a case of warfarin-induced LCV, complicated by a patient's comorbid left ventricular thrombus, and successful treatment with discontinuation of warfarin and replacement with a direct oral anticoagulant (apixaban).
