Gardner and Diamond described a clinical picture of painful ecchymosis in the skin and mucous membranes in four female patients and called this entity Gardner-Diamond syndrome (GDS). At present, the exact pathogenesis of the disease is still unknown. In recent years, it has been advocated that antibodies against phosphatidylserine in erythrocyte stroma may cause immune complex and complement activation, leading to this clinical picture. Herein, we found it appropriate to present a case of multiple ecchymotic lesions diagnosed with GDS followed by many autoimmune diseases to draw attention to autoimmune association. As a result of this case presentation and mini-literature review, we think that autoimmunity patients should not be missed in GDS patients.

Article Synopsis
- The text discusses the phenomenon of stigmata, specifically focusing on the case of Blessed Elena Aiello, who experienced severe hematidrosis, or blood sweating, from 1923 until her death.
- Stigmata are marks associated with Jesus Christ’s crucifixion, believed by some to be divinely impressed on individuals, and Aiello's symptoms reportedly occurred during Lent, particularly on Good Friday.
- A medical study conducted by doctors suggested the origins of her sores were unclear, leading to discussions about the potential for simulation or psychological factors such as autosuggestion.

Background: Psychogenic purpura is an idiopathic psychodermatologic condition of recurrent, painful purpura precipitated by psychological stress, predominantly affecting young females. Little consensus exists on the diagnostic guidelines for this rare condition, often resulting in costly, unnecessary, and stressful investigations as well as prolonged hospital admissions.
Objective: With this first up-to-date systematic review of 134 cases of psychogenic purpura in over a decade, we aim to thoroughly investigate the diagnostic strategy and treatment regimens used in the last decade.
