Abstract:
The Koebner phenomenon is the development of the isomorphic skin lesions in persons with certain skin diseases after an injury occurred on normal-appearing skin. This response can be developed in psoriasis, pityriasis rubra pilaris, verruca etc. Several types of injury can produce the Koebner phenomenon such as irritation, physical injury, surgical wound, and sunburn or radiation therapy. We report a case of psoriasis developed by Koebner phenomenon after radiation therapy and this is the first report in Korea.
