Paraneoplastic vasculitis – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/56779348

Cutaneous vasculitis in association with underlying malignancy where other putative causes cannot be identified and where resolution follows effective treatment of the malignancy. Recurrence of vasculitis may herald relapse of the underlying tumour. Although the vasculitis is usually of small cutaneous vessels (leucocytoclastic vasculitis), other forms have been recorded.
