Area of Science:

  • Dermatology
  • Genetics

Background:

  • Psoriasis is a common chronic inflammatory skin condition.
  • Atypical presentations and localizations of psoriasis are well-documented.
  • Unilateral Blaschko-linear patterns are exceptionally rare in psoriasis.

Observation:

  • A case report of an adult male patient is presented.
  • The patient exhibited psoriasis exclusively on the left side of his body.
  • The lesions followed a distinct unilateral Blaschko-linear distribution.

Findings:

  • This case represents an extremely rare instance of unilateral psoriasis.
  • The Blaschko-linear arrangement suggests a potential somatic mosaicism or developmental field defect.
  • The unilateral nature challenges typical understandings of psoriasis pathogenesis.

Implications:

  • This case expands the spectrum of known psoriasis presentations.
  • Further research into genetic and developmental factors may elucidate rare patterns like Blaschko-linear psoriasis.
  • Understanding these rare forms can improve diagnostic accuracy and inform future research.
