| Abstract |
|
Cholesterol embolism is a multi-systemic disease caused by distal showering of cholesterol crystals released from
disintegration of arterial atheromatous plaque. Cholesterol embolism usually occurs after invasive vascular procedures such as
arterial angiography, cardiac catheterization, angioplasty, anticoagulation and thrombolytic therapy. Skin and renal involvement
are the most common presentations of cholesterol embolism. Although morbidity and mortality of cholesterol embolism has been
known to be high, diagnosis may be difficult as a result of the variable clinical presentations. Herein, we report a case of
cholesterol embolism which had been confirmed through the skin biopsy. |
