Resumo

Systemic vasculitis associated with antibodies to the cytoplasm of neutrophils (ANCA) is a group of autoimmune diseases characterized by inflammatory damage of small vessels of various organs. Despite frequent damage of skin and mucous membranes, the development of soft tissue gangrene for ANCA-associated vasculitis is not common. The article presents a clinical observation of female patient, whose clinical course of the generalized form of ANCA-associated vasculitis was complicated by tongue and fingers' necrotic changes formation. Despite the intravital diagnosis and timely initiation of immunosuppressive therapy, the severe course of the disease led to the development of multiple organ failure and death. Diagnosis was confirmed by autopsy, during which tongue arterioles vasculitis signs were revealed, which made it possible to fix the genesis of necrotic changes and their direct connection with main disease.
