چکیده
Painful bruising syndrome (PBS) is also known as Gardner-Diamond syndrome, auto erythrocyte sensitization syndrome or psychogenic purpura. It is a rare autoimmune vasculopathy characterized by painful ecchymotic lesions which mostly recur after emotional stress [1,2]. This syndrome is frequently observed in young women with psychiatric disorders [2]. PBS occurring in a psychiatrically normal person has rarely been reported. We report here a case of this condition in a woman with no psychiatric disorders.
