title: Spontaneous resolution of keratosis lichenoides chronica.
abstract: Keratosis lichenoides chronica (KLC) is a disorder of keratinization with a chronic progressive course. The nosology of this disorder has been discussed in relation to lichen planus. In this communication a classical case of KLC is presented; however, the lesions involuted spontaneously. The present observation challenges the common belief that KLC has a chronic progressive course.
