1998: livedoid vasculopathy

 
The term "livedoid vasculopathy" was used first by Jorizzo in 1998, in an editorial published in the Archives of Dermatology. [32] In his editorial, the author suggested the designation as a synonym for livedo vasculitis and segmental hyalinizing vasculitis. Jorizzo was commenting on an article by Papi and coworkers that appeared in the very same issue. [33] The latter authors, however, used the term livedo vasculopathy, not livedoid vasculopathy (Fig. 10). Jorizzo stated that he preferred the term livedoid vasculopathy but he did not explain why nor did he define precisely what he meant by livedoid.
