Summary:Rarely, leukocytoclastic vasculitis can result from ischemic colitis, inflammatory bowel disease, and cryoglobulinemia. There is no established standard for the treatment of leukocytoclastic vasculitis associated with gastroenterologic diseases.

Each condition went into remission by treatment of leukocytoclastic vasculitis, regardless of the underlying disease.
