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.
