We report a 15-year-old boy with pityriasisrosea demonstrating unilateral localization.

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Pityriasis rosea is a common papulosquamous disorder with occasionalvariations in lesion morphology, distribution, number and course of disease.The lesions are classically arranged with their long axes parallel to the Langer’slines of cleavage and typically affect the trunk and the proximal extremities.Variations in the distribution of pityriasis rosea include inversus, localized,and unilateral forms.
📊
Key Findings & Data:The unilateral form is a very rare variant of pityriasisrosea, particularly in children.
