ABSTRACT
Pityriasis rosea (PR)-like eruptions have been associated with several neoplasms and drugs. These eruptions may be atypical. To date, the association of Hodgkin's disease with PR-like eruptions has rarely been reported. We report a 37-year-old patient with clinical lesions of PR-like, systemic symptoms and lymphadenopathies, who was subsequently diagnosed with Hodgkin's disease.
