ABSTRACT
Koebner phenomenon was first described in 1877 as the appearance of psoriatic lesions in the uninvolved skin of psoriatic patients as a consequence of trauma. We report a 33-year-old woman referred to our department for evaluation of multiple psoriasiform skin lesions appearing after sclerotherapy for varicose veins of the legs.
