Clinical, Dermatoscopic, and Histological Findings in a Diagnosis of Pityriasis Lichenoides
Pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA) is a rare cutaneous eruption of erythematous macules and papules distributed over the flexural surfaces and the trunk. Histopathologic analysis is useful in diagnosis, and dermoscopic findings have been described in several small case series. We...

description | Pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA) is a rare cutaneous eruption of erythematous macules and papules distributed over the flexural surfaces and the trunk. Histopathologic analysis is useful in diagnosis, and dermoscopic findings have been described in several small case series. We present a case of a mid-20s female who was diagnosed with PLEVA based on clinical and histopathological findings, and we also demonstrate a unique dermoscopic finding. Additionally, we review the current literature detailing dermoscopy findings with associated histopathology in PLEVA and pityriasis lichenoides chronica (PLC). |
