A healthy, unvaccinated 44-year-old woman developed a severe, diffusely spread, and intensely painful purpuric rash following mild COVID-19 infection. A punch skin biopsy revealed small vessel inflammation and intravascular thrombi consistent with thrombotic leukocytoclastic vasculitis. She was successfully managed with therapeutic anticoagulation, high-dose steroids, intravenous immunoglobulin, and aggressive analgesia. This case highlights an atypical and severe presentation of an uncommon cutaneous manifestation of COVID-19 that has been linked with significant morbidity and mortality.
