Pityriasis rosea-like eruption after bone marrow transplantation

J Am Acad Dermatol. 1994 Aug;31(2 Pt 2):348-51. doi: 10.1016/s0190-9622(94)70170-9.

Abstract

Bone marrow transplantation is associated with numerous cutaneous complications that may be related to the underlying (preexisting) disease, to pretransplant conditioning, to immunosuppression, to concomitant medication, or to graft-versus-host reaction. We describe four bone marrow transplant recipients with the clinical and histologic features of pityriasis rosea, a hitherto unreported association.
