ABSTRACT
Linear lichen planopilaris of the face is a rare variant of lichen plano- pilaris. Asymptomatic follicular papules in a linear configuration are the characteristic clinical features. The incidence is still unknown, but there are a few cases reported exclusively in male adults. We present the case of a fourteen-year-old girl with linear lichen planopilaris of the face. Improvement was obtained with the use of tacrolimus 0.03 percent ointment.

La paraqueratosis granular es una dermatosis de probable etiología reaccional descripta en la última década. Se presenta como pápulas hiperqueratósicas y eritematosas que confluyen formando placas de aspecto reticulado. Predomina en mujeres de entre 50 y 60 años, en zona de pliegues, particularmente axilares. Comunicamos un caso de paraqueratosis granular axilar, el primero dentro de la literatura médica argentina, y revisamos la bibliografía sobre el tema.
