Ptyriasis lichenoides comprises a clinicopathological spectrum of inflammatory skin disorders known as chronic lichenoid pityriasis (CLP), pityriasis lichenoides et varioliformis acuta (PLEVA), and febrile ulceronecrotic Mucha-Habermann disease. (7) PLEVA is a rare disease with uncertain prevalence. Although its pathogenesis is controversial, it is considered a benign and self-limiting condition. Pharmacological management is not mandatory, and its aim is to accelerate recovery and improve symptoms. Knowledge of this condition is important for the interdisciplinary health team since it requires constant monitoring to prevent progression to the lethal Mucha-Habermann variant.
