Unilateral pigmented purpuric eruption (UPPE) is a benign skin condition in children. Lesions resolve within months, with pigmentation fading over a year, supporting its self-limiting nature.

Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Pediatric Dermatology

Background:

  • Unilateral pigmented purpuric eruption (UPPE) is a rare dermatosis.
  • Previous reports suggest UPPE is benign and self-limiting, primarily affecting young individuals.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report three pediatric cases of unilateral pigmented purpuric eruption (UPPE).
  • To describe the clinical presentation, course, and resolution of UPPE in children.

Main Methods:

  • Case series reporting three children diagnosed with UPPE.
  • Clinical observation of lesion morphology, location, and evolution over time.

Main Results:

  • Three children aged 7-12 years presented with asymptomatic UPPE on lower limbs and torso.
  • One case showed a distinct quadrantic configuration with a midline demarcation.

  • Purpura resolved spontaneously within 3 months; pigmentation partially resolved within 12 months in two cases.

    • Conclusions:

    • UPPE is a benign, self-limiting condition in pediatric patients.
    • The findings support existing literature on UPPE's favorable prognosis in children.
    • Etiology of UPPE remains unknown.
