Linear cutaneous lupus erythematosus in the lines of Blaschko

Pediatr Dermatol. 2001 Sep-Oct;18(5):396-9. doi: 10.1046/j.1525-1470.2001.01963.x.

Abstract

The lines of Blaschko describe distribution patterns which may represent embryologic developmental pathways. This distribution may occasionally be followed by some congenital and acquired skin disorders. We describe a child with linear cutaneous lupus erythematosus (LCLE) following Blaschko lines on the face.
