Abstract

Purpura annularis telangiectodes is an uncommon pigmented purpuric eruption that is seen more commonly in young adult females, and it is one of the subgroups of pigmented purpuric dermatoses. Clinically, the disease is characterized by symmetrical telangiectatic, purpuric, annular patches with a predilection for the lower extremities and buttock. We report a case of purpura annularis telangiectodes (Majocchi disease) on the lower extremities of a 31-year-old male patient.
