Abstract

Linear morphea is a variant of morphea characterized by linear induration of the skin, often associated with pigmentary changes. It is common in children in their first or second decade of life. Congenital morphea is extremely rare, and it usually presents as a linear variant affecting the extremities or face. There have been only 25 cases reported so far. In this report, we present another rare case of congenital linear morphea in a 4-year-old boy. The child was started on topical tacrolimus and targeted ultraviolet B phototherapy.
