Journal Title: International Journal of Medical and Health Sciences - Year 2015, Vol 4, Issue 4

Abstract

Linear porokeratosis is a rare disorder of keratinisation resulting from an abnormal clone of epidermal precursors occurring at birth or early adulthood. It is characterized clinically by the presence of sharply demarcated, hyperkeratotic, annular papules with a distinct keratotic edge along the lines of Blaschko. It is common in the distal extremities and is characterized histologically by presence of Cornoid lamella. We present a case of 16 year old female who presented with browinish black, maculo papular, itchy, lesions over anterior aspect of left thigh along lines of blaschko and showed characteristic cornoid lamella on histopathology. Linear porokeratosis has a risk of malignant transformation.
