Linear lupus erythematosus profundus on the scalp following the lines of Blaschko.
We describe a 10-year-old Japanese girl presenting linear alopecia on the scalp and forehead. Histological examination showed fat degeneration with mucin deposit and periappendageal infiltrate of mononuclear cells. We diagnosed her as having linear lupus erythematodes profundus with a linear configuration following the lines of Blaschko.
