    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Histopathology

    Background:

    • Pityriasis rosea typically presents with a characteristic 'Christmas-tree' rash on the trunk and proximal extremities.
    • Diagnosis is usually based on clinical presentation.

    Observation:

    • Six cases of pityriasis rosea with atypical morphology and distribution were observed.
    • The observed eruptions deviated from the classic 'Christmas-tree' pattern and distribution.

    Findings:

    • Histological examination revealed dyskeratotic cells in the epidermis and extravasated erythrocytes in the dermis.
    • These histological findings are considered characteristic of pityriasis rosea.

    Implications:

    • Histological examination is vital for diagnosing atypical pityriasis rosea cases.
  • This highlights the importance of histopathology when clinical presentation is unusual.
