title: Unilateral pityriasis rosea in a child.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Various atypical variants of pityriasis rosea were published in the literature. There are very few reports abour pityriasis rosea being unilateral.
  
  
  METHODS
  We present a female child who presented with acute onset of scaly eruptions clinically consistent with a diagnosis of pityriasis rosea, affecting only one side of the body involving waist, thigh, forearm and leg on right side.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  It is extremely unusual for pityriasis rosea to present the eruptions only on one side of the body. This case is presented here for its rarity in clinical practice.
