This article is meant to increase the interest in an often forgotten clinical entity. Cholesterol emboli are in the majority of cases only diagnosed at post-mortem examination. Even though the triad livedo reticularis, renal failure and eosinophilia constitutes its most prominent feature, the variable clinical manifestations of this disorder with multiorgan involvement ("pseudovasculitis") make the search for cholesterol crystals particularly exciting. The discovery of 10 cases of cholesterol emboli over 2 years in a regional hospital's internal medicine department demonstrates that this occurrence is not rarely and that its accurate identification can be particularly relevant. It is important to recognize this disease since it is often iatrogenic, affects elderly people with atherosclerosis of the large vessels and causes high morbidity and mortality.
