Keratosis lichenoides chronica: report of a new case with partial response to PUVA therapy.

Keratosis lichenoides chronica is a rare disorder characterized by a distinctive seborrheic dermatitis-like facial eruption together with development of asymptomatic verrucosities on the limbs and the trunk, with a partially linear distribution. We report a case of a 35-year-old Syrian woman who presented with keratotic plaques and papules of the limbs for several years, and a seborrheic dermatitis-like facial eruption. A diagnosis of keratosis lichenoides chronica was clinically and histologically. Treatment with isotretinoin was without benefit. She had partial response to PUVA.
