Abstract:
Verrucous linear segmental psoriasis (VLSP) is invariably recalcitrant to treatment. It is a distinct variant of psoriasis that frequently is considered a form of a verrucous linear, epidermal nevus. The hypertrophic nature of the plaques makes treatment particularly challenging. The authors present a case of verrucous linear psoriasis of the right leg that responded to radiation therapy.
