Abstract

Degos' disease, or malignant atrophic papulosis, is a rare and often fatal multisystem vasculopathy of unknown etiology. The cutaneous manifestations comprise erythematous papules, which heal to leave scars with a pathognomonic central porcelain-white atrophic area and a peripheral telangiectatic rim. Involvement of the gastrointestinal tract is observed in 50% of cases, with intestinal perforation being the most common cause of death. Other organ systems can also be affected
