Multiple purple-coloured plaques in a paediatric Asian patient with skin of colour
We present the intriguing case of a previously healthy 12-year-old Asian boy. His presentation to the paediatric emergency department included fever, malaise, weight loss, night sweats and a rash over 4 weeks. He had an exceptionally rare diagnosis, leading to a unique medical journey and diagnostic challenges.
