Familial pigmented purpuric dermatoses.
Pigmented purpuric dermatoses (PPD) are chronic, asymptomatic dermatoses characterized by petechiae, pigmentation and rarely telangiectasias. Familial occurrence of PPD is very rare. We report four individuals in a family over three generations. The inheritance is suggestive of an autosomal dominant pattern.
