Pityriasis rosea (PR) is a benign, self-limiting, papulosquamous disorder characterized by the onset of a herald patch followed by an abrupt eruption of multiple salmon-colored papules and plaques on the trunk and proximal extremities. The individual lesions are often outlined by a collarette of scale and are distributed along the lines of cleavage. While many authors acknowledge an etiologic association with human herpesvirus 6 and human herpesvirus 7, thereby suggesting a viral exanthem, the exact cause remains unclear. While typically demonstrating a truncal predilection, this presentation may be absent in some patients who instead exhibit atypical features and distributions. Various clinical variants include papular, vesicular, purpuric, and eczematoid. The condition rarely manifests without truncal involvement and localized only to the distal extremities. We present a unique case report of a 65-year-old-male with biopsy-proven PR that was localized to his distal extremities with a clinical absence of truncal involvement.

“…Zawar has delineated an infantile presentation of PR limited to the acral surfaces without truncal involvement [ 4 ]. The other reported cases of pediatric and adult acral PR have involved the trunk [ 5 - 7 ]. Our case further emphasizes the clinical rarity of acral PR isolated to the distal extremities.…”

“…Localized PR was present in 4% in other study 10 ; this study also reported localized PR in 4.5% of cases. There are few reports about palmoplantar involvement in PR 14 , this study report 1 case when there was involvement of palm in addition to classical presentations. Involvement of the oral mucous membrane is uncommon; however, its incidence varies in different studies from 1% 15 to approximately 16% 16 .…”

Background and objectives:The aim of this study was to measure the rate of a typical cases of pityriasis rosea among dermatological visit and to outline the various clinical presentations of a typical pityriasis rosea disease. Methods: This descriptive study was conducted for a period extended from October 2007 through June 2008. 88 patients who diagnosed to have pityriasis rosea were enrolled in this study. The diagnosis was based on history and clinical examination; questionnaire was designed to provide relative data and all patients' data were recorded at time of diagnosis. Investigations in certain cases were done to aid in the diagnosis. Results: A typical pityriasis rosea was found in 38.5% patients. Absence of herald patch in 17% of patients, papular rosea in 8%, inverse pityriasis rosea in 6.8%, localized pityriasis rosea in 4.5%, unilateral/inverse in 1.1% and urticarial in 1.1% of patients Conclusion: A typical pityriasis rosea is not uncommon and different forms of a typical pityriasis rosea exist. Investigations are sometimes needed to confirm the diagnosis.
