The course of pityriasislichenoides is unpredictable.Very rarely, it may progress to the cutaneous form of lymphoma.It is optimally managed with a combination of topical, light, and systemic therapies.DefinitionPityriasis lichenoides is an uncommon, acquired, idiopathic skin condition. It is a challenging disorder to diagnose, categorise, and treat due to its varied presentation
Role of streptococcal infection in the etiopathogenesis of pityriasislichenoides chronica and the therapeutic efficacy of azithromycin: a randomized controlled trial. The exact aetiology of pityriasislichenoides chronica (PLC) remains unknown. While phototherapy is the most investigated therapeutic modality, azithromycin has been used scarcely. The aim of this study is to evaluate
Dermoscopy as a diagnostic key of PityriasisLichenoides Et Varioliformis Acuta (PLEVA). Diagnosis of PityriasisLichenoides Et Varioliformis Acuta is based on the characteristic pattern of lesions in different stages of development, ranging from erythematous maculo-papules to papules with a crusted and/or necrotic centre. However, it may raise the differential diagnosis with other entities . It is therefore not uncommon to have to perform skin biopsies to reach a diagnosis, including in infantile cases. In this study we report three cases of patients with PityriasisLichenoides Et Varioliformis Acuta, highlighting the correlation between clinical, dermoscopic and histological features. Observation of the dermatoscopic findings described, such as punctate or glomerular vessels and erythematous
Hypopigmented lesions in pityriasislichenoides chronica patients: Are they only post-inflammatory hypopigmentation? Pityriasislichenoides chronica (PLC) lesions are reported to subside with post-inflammatory hypopigmentation (PIH); hence, the most widely perceived nature of hypopigmented macules in PLC is PIH. However, to the best of our knowledge, no studies describing histopathological

PityriasisLichenoides, Atypical PityriasisLichenoides, and Related Conditions: A Study of 66 Cases. Pityriasislichenoides (PLs) is an uncommon skin disease of unknown etiology. In recent years, an atypical form of PL has been described, showing overlapping features with mycosis fungoides (MF) and lymphomatoid papulosis. We studied 66 patients with an initial histopathologic diagnosis of PL
Varicella zoster virus as a possible trigger for the development of pityriasislichenoides et varioliformis acuta: retrospective analysis of our institutional cases. Although numerous infective agents, including varicella zoster virus (VZV), have been described in association with pityriasislichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA) and pityriasislichenoides chronica (PLC), none has been
Possible role of plasmacytoid dendritic cells in pityriasislichenoides. Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) and their product, type I interferons (IFNs), have been implicated in the pathogenesis of several skin disorders characterized by an interface dermatitis (ID) pattern, such as lichen planus (LP). A type I IFN signature has previously been documented in pityriasislichenoides (PL
Interleukin-4 in PityriasisLichenoides Chronica assessment of the level of interleukin 4 (IL-4) in the lesional skin and serum of PLC patients and compare its level with healthy controls. measuring the level of Interleukin 4 in lesional skin and it's serum level using ELIZA in patients with Pityriasislichenoides chronica and comparing the levels with healthy controls levels
Treatment of adult diffuse pityriasislichenoides chronica with narrowband ultraviolet B: experience and literature review. Pityriasislichenoides chronica (PLC) is an infrequent dermatosis of unknown aetiology, wholse evolution and response to treatment differs between children and adults. When PLC is recalcitrant or unresponsive to topical treatment, phototherapy is one of the main treatments
Pityriasislichenoides et varioliformis acuta in skin of color: new observations by dermoscopy Pityriasislichenoides is an uncommon skin disease that presents in three different forms: pityriasislichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA), pityriasislichenoides chronica (PLC) and febrile ulceronecrotic-Mucha-Habermann disease. These represent a spectrum of a disease. PLEVA presents as skin
PityriasisLichenoides-like Mycosis Fungoides: Clinical and Histologic Features and Response to Phototherapy Pityriasislichenoides (PL)-like skin lesions rarely appear as a specific manifestation of mycosis fungoides (MF). We investigated the clinicopathological features, immunophenotypes, and treatments of PL-like MF. This study included 15 patients with PL-like lesions selected from
Differentiation of pityriasislichenoides chronica from guttate psoriasis by dermoscopy. Clinical differentiation between pityriasislichenoides chronica (PLC) and guttate psoriasis (GP) may sometimes be a difficult task, which often requires histological analysis to reach a definitive diagnosis. In this study, PLC and GP lesions were examined using dermoscopy, and the significance of specific
Successful therapy of cyclosporin A in pityriasislichenoides et varioliformis acuta preceded by hand, foot and mouth disease. To our knowledge, there are no previously published cases of enteroviral infection complicated by pityriasislichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA). A 30-year-old woman is reported with a severe form of PLEVA, preceded by hand, foot and mouth disease

Adult pityriasislichenoides-like mycosis fungoides: a clinical variant of mycosis fungoides. Mycosis fungoides (MF) is the most frequent type of cutaneous T cell lymphoma. Its clinicopathological spectrum is wide, and the resulting diversity makes it difficult to establish a differential diagnosis among pityriasislichenoides (PL), lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP), and atypical MF. This study
γδ T cell-rich variants of pityriasislichenoides and lymphomatoid papulosis: benign cutaneous disorders to be distinguished from aggressive cutaneous γδ T cell lymphomas. T cells with a γδ phenotype have been associated with aggressive lymphomas. Yet, inflammatory skin disorders and low-grade lymphoproliferative disorders have rarely been described with a predominant γδ T-cell infiltrate . To review our experience and determine the clinical relevance of the γδ T-cell phenotype in lymphomatoid papulosis (LyP) and pityriasislichenoides (PL). A retrospective dermatopathology file review looking for LyP and PL characterized by a γδ T-cell phenotype was performed. Clinical manifestations and course, histological features and molecular data were analyzed. Six of 16 cases of LyP and four of 23
