A 3-year-old girl presented to us for a rough aspect of the trunk. Dermatologic examination showed multiple rough papules in the upper and lower limbs (Fig. 1a), extending to the trunk (Fig. 1b) and upper limbs with a linear arrangement, and then to the face (Fig.1c).We also found a focal palmoplantar keratoderma distributed in small islands. According to the clinical aspect of the lesions, we suspected porokeratosis that was confirmed by the skin biopsy. She was treated by acitretin (0.25 mg/kg/day) with good evolution within 3 months.
