Keratosis Lichenoides Chronica: A Case Report

Keratosis lichenoides chronica (KLC) is a rare chronic hyperkeratotic disorder that typically affects patients aged 20 to 50 years. Its distinct clinical presentation in the pediatric population has raised speculation that the adult and pediatric variants of this disorder may be entirely separate disease entities. We present a case of adult-type KLC manifesting during childhood in a 14-year-old adolescent girl. We also review the literature on this rare disorder.
