A patient with linear porokeratosis was successfully treated with diamond fraise dermabrasion. Follow-up evaluation revealed an excellent cosmetic result with adequate repigmentation, no scarring, and no recurrence of lesions. Long-term follow-up will be necessary to determine whether dermabrasion treatment of linear porokeratosis provides adequate prophylaxis against the subsequent development of malignancy.
