Abstract:

In this clinical case, we attend to a patient with pigmented purpuric dermatosis, diagnosed with Schamberg disease. It is the most frequent type of all pigmented purpuric dermatosis. It is a benign, idiopathic, harmless skin condition, but its importance is mainly due to these characteristics. Good general practitioners should be able at least to consider a differential diagnosis whenever a patient shows a pigmented purpura. We update the most relevant information about Schamberg disease (concept, epidemiology, aetiology, pathophysiology, clinical features, diagnosis, investigations, associated diseases, treatment and management, prognosis and complications) with references where the reader can easily find more specific information.

Keywords:

Schamberg disease, Pigmented purpura, Pigmented dermatosis.
