Abstrakt		Pretibial pruritic papular dermatitis is a clinical entity first described in 2006. The etiology is uncertain; however, gentle chronic rubbing is likely to be the reason for the skin reaction. Pretibial pruritic lesions may reflect many different systemic diseases and dermatoses. We present a 61-year-old patient with a 2-year history of pruritic pretibial xerosis, keratotic erythematous to brownish papules, and excoriations. Differential diagnosis excluded papular mucinosis, myxoedema, stasis dermatitis, lichen simplex chronicus, prurigo nodularis, lichen amyloidosis, and lichen planus. Regarding clinical-histological correlation, we confirmed a diagnosis of pretibial pruritic papular dermatitis.
