Abstract

Koebner’s phenomenon is well known in patients of chronic plaque psoriasis. It usually results from physical or chemical trauma. Generally lesions resulting from trauma are present in a linear fashion along with other primary lesions of psoriasis. We report a rare case of psoriasis in which a single plaque was present for last 5 years at the site of previous burn. Patient did not have any lesions of psoriasis elsewhere on the body. This report support traditional hypothesis that trauma can trigger psoriasis in a psoriasis naïve patient and a single plaque at burn site can have psoriasis as a differential diagnosis.
