Abstract:
We present four cases of a distinctive type of pigmented purpuric eruption occurring in a striking linear and pseudo-dermatomal distribution in young males. Whilst these cases share some of the clinical and histological features of other pigmented purpuric dermatoses, they are not readily classified with any of the entities so far defined in this group of disorders. We believe these cases represent a distinct group not previously described. Four patients with an unusual pigmented purpuric eruption are presented.
