We report a case where occurrence of linear Darier's disease along Blaschko's lines followed radiotherapy due to the subject's recurrence of a longstanding carcinoma of the bladder. Scattered papules on the chest and hack preceded the exacerbation of the disease. In this case, localised linear disease may he triggered on a background of a more disseminated disease which raises the possibility that linear keratosis follicularis is a separate entity of cutaneous mosaicism for the mutation responsible for Darter's disease.
