intense the granular deposits, the slower and more persistent the course of the disease, whereas a diffuse pattern of pigmentation with an absence of globules or dots was associated with earlier resolution.9,10 In our patient we observed a mottled pattern formed by clusters of numerous brown dots and globules and, as predicted, the course clinical was slow and the condition persisted for a year after diagnosis. In conclusion, we have presented a rare case of LLP with a Blaschkoid distribution and we have described the most relevant dermoscopic features of this disease. Ever more cases like this one demonstrate the usefulness of dermoscopy not only in the diagnosis of inflammatory diseases of the skin, but also as a tool to predict the prognosis. References
