Abstract:
We report herein a case of PUPPP in a 26-year-old-primigravida with urticarial papules and plaques on the abdomen and thigh which developed at 39th week of the pregnancy. Histopathologic findings revealed focal spongiosis in the epidermis and lymphocytic perivascular infiltration in the dermis. The skin lesion resolved spontaneously after delivery and the new-born had no specific abnormalities.
