Vasculitis (angiitis) of the skin is called dermatoses, in the clinical and pathomorphological symptoms of which the initial and leading element is nonspecific inflammation of the walls of the dermal and hypodermal blood vessels of various sizes.
The problem of vascular pathology is one of the most pressing in modern medicine. This is due to the steady increase in the number of vascular diseases, their severe, often disabling course, and the insufficient development of treatment methods.
The main place in this broad nosological group is occupied by inflammatory lesions of the blood vessels of the skin and subcutaneous tissue - the so-called vasculitis, or angiitis of the skin.
The term "angiitis" (from the Greek Angion - vessel) is currently recognized etymologically as more successful than "vasculitis" (from the Latin Vasculum - vessel), since angiitis affects vessels of various sizes (from main to capillaries), and not only the smallest ones. In terms of content, the terms βangiitisβ and βvasculitisβ are currently synonymous.
