Abstract
Degos’ disease also known as malignant atrophic papulosis is an uncommon disease characterised by progressive vasculopathy leading to occlusion of small and medium sized arteries. It displays cutaneous as well as extracutaneous manifestations. Immediate causative factor may be disturbed endothelial function leading to abnormal coagulation. Effective treatment for the condition has not yet been found. We report a case of a 35 year old male presenting withhistory of generalised abdominal pain, vomiting and fever.Papular lesions associated with itching on the trunk noticed four days back. A diagnosis of Degos’ disease with perforative peritonitis was given based on clinical and histological findings. We are reporting this case on account of the rarity of its occurrence.
