Vasculitides constitute a heterogeneous group of inflammatory disorders involving walls of
blood vessels of integument and viscera. Depending on the size of blood vessels affected and
organs involved, different subsets can vary in clinical presentation, histopathology, laboratory
markers, treatment and prognosis. The present review focuses on recapitulating the
vasculitides involving skin in a tabulated form.
