Linear porokeratosis of Mibelli (LPM), a variant of porokeratosis, usually appears in childhood, but may occur in middle life. Unilateral lesions frequently occur and are often misdiagnosed. We herewith report a case of linear porokeratosis of Mibelli in a 4 year old girl child clinically mistaken as linear verrucous epidermal nevus.
