  • Title: Adult Onset Henoch-Schonlein Purpura associated with a Metastatic Malignancy of Unknown Primary Origin.
    Author: Posas-Mendoza T, Lucuab-Fegurgur D, Roberts J.
    Journal: Hawaii J Med Public Health; 2018 Oct; 77(10):243-245. PubMed ID: 30324001.
    Abstract:
    The cause of Henoch-Schonlein purpura, or IgA vasculitis, is largely unknown. It has been associated with infections, other rheumatologic triggers, and adverse drug reactions. Rarely, adult Henoch-Schonlein purpura is also associated with solid-tumor malignancies. We present the case of a 66 year-old woman who presented with Henoch-Schonlein purpura associated with a metastatic malignancy of unknown primary origin. We recommend that adult patients presenting with Henoch-Schonlein purpura, especially those with no identifiable trigger, receive age-appropriate work-up for potential malignancy.
