Abstract

Zusammenfassung

Vaskulopathien und Vaskulitiden stellen diagnostisch und therapeutisch eine interdisziplinäre Herausforderung dar. Zugrunde liegen unterschiedliche pathophysiologische Mechanismen, die zu vielfältigen klinischen Krankheitsbildern führen können und therapeutisch unterschiedliche Ansätze erlauben. Sowohl Vaskulitiden als auch Vaskulopathien müssen nicht zwangsläufig mit einer Systembeteiligung einhergehen, sondern können auch als rein kutane Varianten auftreten. Aufgrund mangelnder pathognomonischer Laborparameter ist die Diagnose häufig klinisch zu stellen. Dieser Artikel soll den differentialdiagnostischen Blick, insbesondere auf die kutanen Manifestationsformen bei Vaskulopathien und Vaskulitiden, schärfen.

Abstract

Vasculopathies and vasculitides pose an interdisciplinary challenge in terms of diagnosis and therapy. They are based on different pathophysiological mechanisms that can lead to clinical symptoms and allow different therapeutic approaches. Neither vasculitides nor vasculopathies have necessarily to be associated with systemic involvement, but can also occur as purely cutaneous variants. Due to the lack of pathognomonic laboratory parameters, the diagnosis is often clinical. This article is intended to focus on the differential diagnostic view, particularly in the case of cutaneous manifestations of vasculitis and vasculopathies.
