Linear porokeratosis is a rare clinical porokeratosis variant, which typically presents at birth, but can also develop in adulthood. This disorder of keratinization includes a risk of transformation into basal cell carcinoma or squamous cell carcinoma. The therapeutic arsenal is rich with variable results. We present a case of linear porokeratosis having evolved well under CO2 laser.
