A case of linear porokeratosis in a 14‐year‐old girl was reported. The lesions started from the right forearm and extended to the right breast. Histological examinations showed cornoid lamella in the horny layer and dyskeratotic cells in the spinous layer beneath the cornoid lamella. Linear distributions of the lesions resembled the lines of Blaschko.
