title: Linear porokeratosis: treatment with the carbon dioxide laser.
abstract: A patient with a lifelong linear porokeratosis was treated with a carbon dioxide laser. The laser was successful in removing the patient's hyperkeratotic plantar lesion. No recurrence has been noted in a 6-month follow-up visit. This report demonstrates another dermatologic condition that can be treated successfully with the CO2 laser.
