Examination of punch biopsy specimen from the left lower leg (c, d) showing infiltration of inflammatory cells including neutrophils around small vessels in the dermis, which is consistent with leukocytoclastic vasculitis (hematoxylin-eosin stain). Immunofluorescence showing poor immune complex deposition ((e) IgM; (f) C3c).
