Nomenclature of Cutaneous Vasculitis

ConclusionStandardized names and definitions are a prerequisite for developing validated classification and diagnostic criteria for cutaneous vasculitis. Accurate identification of specifically defined variants of systemic and skin‐limited vasculitides requires knowledgeable integration of data from clinical, laboratory, and pathologic studies. This proposed nomenclature of vasculitides affecting the skin, the D‐CHCC, provides a standard framework both for clinicians and for investigators.
