Henoch-Schonlein purpura is a small vessel vasculitis characterized by cutaneous, joint, gastrointestinal and renal involvement. Vasculitic purpura is mainly seen on lower limbs & buttocks and rarely on face & upper limbs. We report a 13 year old girl with Henoch Schonlein purpura, who presented with purpuric rash predominantly involving the face, ears and upper limbs.
