All patients who met our clinicopathological criteria for this condition were included. Diagnostic clinical features included the presence of widespread blanchable livedo racemosa and\/or macular pigmentation. Diagnostic histological features included the presence of a lymphocytic arteritis with fibrin deposition affecting vessels in the deeper dermis and\/or upper subcutis. Data were collated on demographics, comorbidities, clinical features, histopathology, treatments and clinical response.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thirty-six patients were identified including 26 female and 10 male patients with a mean (SD) age of onset of 32.7 (13.0) years. A high proportion of patients of Asian heritage was noted (n = 16, 44%). Most patients (n = 34, 94%) presented with widespread livedo racemosa. Less common manifestations included petechiae (n = 6, 17%), macular pigmentation (n = 8, 22%), neuropathy (n = 12, 33%) and ulceration (n = 12, 33%). A significant association was noted between ulceration and superficial dermal vessel involvement on biopsy, similar to livedoid vasculopathy. All patients had a neutrophil-poor lymphocytic perivascular infiltrate with fibrinoid change in the deeper dermis\/upper subcutis. A variety of vessels were affected; 44% (n = 16) involved vessels in the superficial dermis as well as the deep dermis\/upper subcutis. A discrete concentric fibrin ring (n = 15, 42%) was not essential for diagnosis. Treatments targeting vascular fibrin deposition appeared effective for all manifestations other than livedo which remained persistent.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>LTA has distinctive clinicopathological features and may lie on a spectrum with livedoid vasculopathy.
