Abstract

association geographic oral pityriasis rosea tongue
Oral lesions are rarely reported in patients with pityriasis rosea. We report a case of a 3‐year‐old boy with clinical evidence of generalized pityriasis rosea who developed asymptomatic oral lesions similar in appearance to geographic tongue. The generalized eruption and tongue lesions resolved simultaneously within 4 weeks. We also review the literature on the oral manifestations of Pityriasis rosea.
