Unilateral pityriasis rosea in a child: A rare clinical presentation

Özet

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. The unilateral form is a very rare variant of pityriasisrosea, particularly in children. We report a 15-year-old boy with pityriasisrosea demonstrating unilateral localization.
