Abstract

Pigmented purpuric lichenoid dermatitis of Gougerot-Blum is one of the diseases classified under the group name of pigmented purpuric dermatoses that are likely variants of each other resulting from lymphocyte-mediated leakage of erythrocytes. This is characterized by minute, rust-colored, lichenoid papules that tend to fuse into plaques with indistinct borders and develop mainly on the legs, thighs, and lower trunk. We report a case of pigmented purpuric lichenoid dermatitis of Gougerot-Blum on the lower abdomen, buttocks, and lower legs in a 69-year-old male patient.
