This brief review will deal with some of the more controversial areas. The specific issues discussed are those relating to the ldquo;newrdquo; American College of Rheumatology classification system and its application to patients who have skin lesions of vasculitis, the recently associated diseases, and the newer therapies for vasculitis. In addition, recent publications regarding acute neutrophilic dermatosis lpar;Sweet's syndromerpar; and pyoderma gangrenosum are briefly discussed.Current Opinion in Rheumatology 1993,5colon;33hyphen;40
