  • Title: Pigmented purpuric dermatosis in a young male.
    Author: Harris BD, Primka EJ, Hollandsworth KJ, Bergfeld WF.
    Journal: Cutis; 1999 Feb; 63(2):112-3. PubMed ID: 10071745.
    Abstract:
    The pigmented purpuric dermatoses (PPD) are a group of disorders that most often occur on the lower extremities of middle-aged adults as asymptomatic, yellow-orange patches with petechiae. The PPD represent a benign, often chronic, capillaritis of unknown cause. We present a case of PPD on the abdomen of a young male and emphasize careful observation in such a patient to reveal possible progression to purpuric mycosis fungoides.
