ISSN 0001-5555 Granulomatous variants of pigmented purpuric dermatoses (GPPD) were first described in 1996 (1). These reports suggested significant relationships between GPPD and autoimmune disorders (2–4). In addition, Kaplan et al. (2) recently reported the immunological profiles of GPPD and described the infiltration of significant numbers of CD4+ cells in granulomatous tissues, suggesting that, like sarcoidosis, immunological mechanisms might be associated with the formation of granuloma. Sjögren’s syndrome (SS) is an autoimmune disorder characterized by dry eyes and dry mouth due to lympho cytic infiltrates in the lacrimal and salivary glands. The various cutaneous manifestations of SS include dry skin, immunological inflammatory conditions such as vasculitis, and hypergammaglobulinemic purpura (4). Among them, in rare cases, SS is associated with granulomatous disorders, such as sarcoidosis (5). We describe here a case of GPPD associated with SS and demonstrate immunohistochemical staining for granulomaforming cells, focusing especially on Foxp3+ regulatory T cells.
