Abstract		An 18-month-old girl presented with a linear verrucous lesion on the right half of the chest following the curved path of lines of Blaschko. A skin biopsy specimen showed features of epidermal nevus with cornoid lamellae. Linear porokeratosis and linear epidermal nevus can be similar both clinically and histologically. In particular, the histologic phenomenon of cornoid lamellaethought to be pathognomonic for all forms of porokeratosis-have also been described in epidermal nevi (porokeratotic epidermal nevi). Linear porokeratosis and porokeratotic linear epidermal nevus may represent variants of the same disorder.
