Summary We present four cases of a distinctive type of pigmented purpuric eruption occurring in a striking linear and pseudo‐dermatomal distribution in young males. Whilst these cases share some of the clinical and histological features of other pigmented purpuric dermatoses , they are not readily classified with any of the entities so far defined in this group of disorders. We believe these cases represent a distinct group not previously described.
