An unusual presentation of pigmented purpuric lichenoid dermatitis

Dermatol Online J. 2023 Oct 15;29(5). doi: 10.5070/D329562410.ABSTRACTPigmented purpuric lichenoid dermatitis (PPLD) is a rare subtype of pigmented purpuric dermatosis, which classically presents with a mixture of lichenoid papules and patches on the bilateral lower extremities. Herein, we describe an unusual case of a 47-year-old man with PPLD who presented with 1-3mm discrete papules without the presence of larger patches. The diagnosis of PPLD should be considered for patients presenting with bilateral symmetric discrete papules on the legs.PMID:38478646 | DOI:10.5070/D329562410
