Clin Rheumatol. 1997 Nov;16(6):626-8. doi: 10.1007/BF02247806.

Abstract

Small-vessel vasculitis may be a paraneoplastic syndrome. It may be associated with haematologic malignancies and less frequently with solid tumors. We describe a patient with myelodysplastic syndrome presenting as Henoch-Schönlein Purpura. To our knowledge this association has not previously reported.
