Abstract：Antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) is a systemic auto-immune disorder characterised by recurrent arterial and/or venous thrombosis, pregnancy losses, thrombocytopenia and the presence of elevated and persistent levels of antiphospholipid antibodies. It may potentially affect any organ including the skin. Dermatologic manifestations may be the ifrst indication of APS and may be noticeable as livedo reticularis, Sneddon's syndrome, atrophie blanche, skin ulcerations and necrosis, anetoderma, or Degos' disease. Knowledge of the cutaneous manifestations of APS is critical in the early identiifcation and fast treatment of APS patients.
