Summary:Keratosis lichenoides chronica is a rare disorder. It consists of the progressive development of asymptomatic verrucosities on the limbs and the trunk, with a partially linear distribution. We report the case of a 78-year-old woman who presented with keratotic plaques and papules of the trunk and the limbs for several years. A diagnosis of keratosis lichenoides chronica was clinically and histologically evident. PUVA-therapy was started, with excellent results.
