Abstract

Malignant atrophic papulosis (MAP) is a rare and clinically distinctive vasculopathy. It is characterized by narrowing and occlusion of the lumen by intimal proliferation and thrombosis, which leads to ischemia and infarction in the involved organ systems. Its rarity and rapidly fatal course make the disease a difficult diagnostic and therapeutic challenge.
