The pathologic process is characterized by generalized arteriolar and capillary thrombosis.While we realize that atypical verrucous endocarditis with a skin lesion resembling lupus erythematosus was described by Libman and Sacks1in 1923, and that Moschcowitz2the following year presented a case before the N. Y. Pathological Society under the title of "Hyaline Thrombosis of the Terminal Arterioles and Capillaries (A Hitherto Undescribed Disease)," we feel that despite the fact of the description of these two widely differing clinical conditions, the...References1.
