Abstract:
Pityriasis rotunda is an uncommon cutaneous disorder characterized by multiple asymptomatic strikingly circular hyperpigmented or hypopigmented, scaly patches on the trunk and extremities with the similar histologic appearance of ichthyosis vulgaris. The majority of cases have been reported in Japan, South Africa and West India, usually in association with an underlying systemic disease, but there are some familial cases without systemic diseases. We report a case of pityriasis rotunda with liver cirrhosis.
