    Area of Science:

    • Dermatology
    • Rare Diseases
    • Phototherapy

    Background:

    • Keratosis lichenoides chronica (KLC) is a rare, chronic dermatosis.
    • It presents with characteristic violaceous papular and nodular lesions, often in linear or reticulate patterns.
    • KLC typically affects the hands and feet, with associated facial seborrheic dermatitis-like changes.

    Observation:

    • The patient presented with clinical manifestations consistent with KLC.
    • The eruption was noted to be highly refractory to conventional treatment modalities.
    • Photochemotherapy was administered as a treatment option.

    Findings:

    • The patient's KLC eruption demonstrated a positive response to photochemotherapy.
    • This suggests a potential therapeutic benefit of photochemotherapy for this rare condition.

    Implications:

    • Photochemotherapy may be a viable treatment option for refractory cases of keratosis lichenoides chronica.
    • Further research is warranted to confirm the efficacy and optimal protocols for photochemotherapy in KLC.
    • This case report expands treatment possibilities for patients with this challenging dermatosis.
