Summary:[...]cutaneous lesions are likely to have been underestimated for obvious reasons, including the paucity of dermatology consultations in this group of patients . [...]the reported cutaneous manifestations of COVID-19 are various, dispersed, and sometimes confusing. [...]the difficulty in determining the actual prevalence of COVID-19-associated skin manifestations has also been linked to the fact that in some countries only patients with respiratory illness or requiring hospitalization are screened . While the majority of patients will experience respiratory complaints with congestion, cough, and shortness of breath, some patients may present without any pulmonary symptoms " Recently, there has been increasing recognition of the dermatologic complications of COVID-19. [...]we aimed to review and summarize the different skin lesions in adults, which have been reported in adult patients association with COVID-19 to date, in this article. The Vasculitic-type lesions includes: acral lesions, sacral ulcerations, purpuric lesions, and vasculitis. [...]evidence directs that cytokine release, coagulation pathway disturbance, and complement-mediated microvascular injury play a role in the pathology of this latter group.
