Abstract

Autoimmune phenomena including vasculitis are known to be associated with malignancy, especially those that are haematological in origin. Vasculitis syndromes associated with malignant disease include cutaneous leucocytoclastic vasculitis, polyarteritis nodosa, Churg-Strauss syndrome, microscopic polyangiitis, Wegener's granulomatosis and Henoch-Schönlein purpura. We describe a patient whose initial presentation with vasculitis led to the diagnosis of hairy cell leukaemia.
