Keywords:
pigmented purpuric dermatoses, purpura, unilateral, pentoxifylline.Abstract
Pigmented purpuric lichenoid dermatitis of Gougerot and Blum is an uncommon variant of pigmented purpuric dermatosis. It occurs in young adult males on the lower extremities with a symmetric distribution and difficult treatment. We report a case of a patient with segmental lesions on his trunk, clinical presentation and histology compatible with this disease, who did not improve with topical corticosteroids but he responded well to pentoxifylline.
