Abstract

Pitiryasis lichenoides is a papulosquamous disorder of unknown etiology frequently seen in the pediatric population. The lesions are usually widespread on the trunk and extremities, and only exceptional cases of localized forms have been reported. We report a 9-year-old patient with recurrent crops of pitiryasis lichenoides lesions exclusively involving the lower abdomen.
