title: Chronic pigmented purpura: a case report of Schamberg's disease.
abstract: The syndrome of chronic pigmented purpura (CPP) consists of pigmented macular lesions, predominantly involving the lower extremities. An 11-year-old girl was diagnosed initially as suffering from vasculitic purpura, but the clinical course and the skin histology proved to be consistent with CPP. This syndrome should be included in the differential diagnosis of childhood purpura.
