Abstract
Unilateral mediothoracic exanthem is a variant of a common entity in Western literature, namely Asymmetric Periflexural Exanthem of Childhood (APEC). Less than ten cases of unilateral mediothoracic exanthem have been described worldwide, and only two are reported in Indian literature. Herein, we report two childhood cases of uni-lateral mediothoracic exanthem from India. Dermatologists must be aware of this self-limiting condition, in order to avoid invasive and exhaustive investigations and misdiagnosis.
