Of 64 histopathologic reports available from 60 patients, predominant skin histopathologic findings were leukocytoclastic vasculitis (23 [36%]), neutrophilic dermatosis (22 [34%]), and perivascular dermatitis (19 [30%]). Distinct pathogenic genetic variants were associated with specific cutaneous manifestations. The p.Met41Leu variant was most frequently associated with neutrophilic dermal infiltrates (14 of 17 patients [82%]), often resembling histiocytoid Sweet syndrome. In contrast, the p.Met41Val variant was associated with vasculitic lesions (11 of 20 patients [55%]) with a mixed leukocytic infiltrate (17 of 20 patients [85%]). Oral prednisone improved skin manifestations in 67 of 73 patients (92%). Patients with VEXAS treated with anakinra frequently developed severe injection-site reactions (12 of 16 [75%]), including ulceration (2 of 12 [17%]) and abscess formation (1 of 12 [8%]).<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec id=\"ab-doi240018-9\">\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions and Relevance<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Results of this cohort study show that skin manifestations are a common and early manifestation of VEXAS syndrome.
