Abstract:
Linear distribution of psoriasis is rare. This presentation offers to physicians some diagnostic difficulty, especially in the absence of a history of pre-existing psoriasis or in the presence of any other linear dermatosis. In this study, we report cases of 3 girls, ages 4 yr, 5 yr and 10 yr, admitted to our dermatology department. The clinical features and differential diagnosis of this skin disease which, in children, can be easily mistaken for inflammatory verrucous epidermal nevus, are discussed.
