Figure 1 Cholesterol crystal embolization (CCE) is a condition characterized by sys− temic embolization of cholesterol crystals from atherosclerotic plaques lining in the walls of major arter− ies. We found di− minutive gastrointes− tinal lesions in four of five patients with CCE. Here, livedo reti− cularis is seen in the foot of a 70− year− old man with CCE. A biopsy specimen from the livedo reti− cularis contained a cholesterol cleft in an arteliole of the upper dermis.
