title: Milia en plaque successfully treated by dermabrasion.
abstract: BACKGROUND
  Milia en plaque is a rarely described benign lesion characterized by milia within an erythematous base, usually located periauricularly. No optimal treatment is known.
  
  
  OBJECTIVE
  To illustrate by a case report the clinical presentation and effect of dermabrasion on milia en plaque.
  
  
  METHODS
  A 60-year-old woman with milia en plaque at the mandibular ridge was treated with dermabrasion using a diamond fraise.
  
  
  RESULTS
  Complete regression of the lesion was seen at a follow-up of 6 months.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  Dermabrasion seems a suitable treatment for milia en plaque.
