“…Transitory PPD, first described by Osment et al ., 7 is different from other PPD, though the clinical differences between them are trivial 8 . From the past published work, the typical presentations of transitory PPD are: rust‐colored macules appeared first; they then gradually became large circumscribed brownish macules; they were most pronounced over the lower extremities; however, scattered areas were often found on the trunk and upper extremities; and, finally, the clinical appearance became the plaques of cayenne pepper‐like pigmented lesions which were indistinguishable from that seen in Schamberg's disease.…”

We report a 23-year-old female patient with a 4-month history of transitory pigmented purpuric dermatoses (PPD). She was otherwise healthy and reported no history of previous medication intake and none of her family members had any disorders. Clinical examination revealed well-demarcated, brownish hyperpigmented, reticulated pigmentation with pinhead-sized purpura. The histopathological specimen was characterized by a mild epidermal hyperkeratosis, elongated rete ridges, papillomatosis and mild mononuclear cell infiltration in the superficial dermis with focal extravasations of red blood cells without siderophage. Despite prominent extravasations of red blood cells and edema both in the papillary dermis and the subpapillary layer, no definite capillaritis was seen. Based on these clinicohistopathological findings, the diagnosis of transitory PPD was considered to be most compatible. Clinicians should recognize the unique but rarely acknowledged disease as a subtype of pigmented purpuric dermatoses.

“…Although the presence of hemosiderin is a constant feature in this, as in all of these dermatoses, lichen aureus is the most distinguishable his-tologically because of the bandlike dermal inflammatory infiltrate. 14 Variations of the pigmented purpuric eruptions include transient lesions 16 or localization to the upper extremities or elsewhere, rather than the lower extremities. 17…”

The pigmented purpuric eruptions most likely represent a group of clinical patterns of erythrocyte extravasation due to pericapillary inflammation. This inflammatory reaction may be in response to an immunologic reaction of some type, as suggested by immunopathologic studies and by the drug-induced pigmented purpuras. It is important to recognize this group of cutaneous purpura primarily to distinguish the pigmented purpuric eruptions from other types of purpura which are associated with systemic illness. The various eponyms or descriptive types of the pigmented purpuric eruptions are of historical and dermatologic interest; there is little clinical use in distinguishing among the types for a given patient.

Pigmented purpuric dermatoses (PPD) are a group of histopathologically similar conditions that are primarily differentiated based on morphology. The basic pathological finding is a lymphocytic perivascular infiltrate with hemorrhage limited to the papillary dermis without fibrinoid necrosis of the vessels. The etiology is unknown; they run a chronic course and are fairly resistant to treatment. We present this review for the physicians to kindle interest in this not-so-uncommon entity.
