  • Title: Pigmented Purpuric Dermatosis: A Review of the Literature.
    Author: Martínez Pallás I, Conejero Del Mazo R, Lezcano Biosca V.
    Journal: Actas Dermosifiliogr (Engl Ed); 2020 Apr; 111(3):196-204. PubMed ID: 31983388.
    Abstract:
    The pigmented purpuric dermatoses are a group of benign, chronic diseases. The variants described to date represent different clinical presentations of the same entity, all having similar histopathologic characteristics. We provide an overview of the most common PPDs and describe their clinical, dermatopathologic, and epiluminescence features. PPDs are both rare and benign, and this, together with an as yet poor understanding of the pathogenic mechanisms involved, means that no standardized treatments exist. We review the treatments described to date. However, because most of the descriptions are based on isolated cases or small series, there is insufficient evidence to support the use of any of these treatments as first-line therapy.
