Introduction: Phytophotodermatitis is exceptional in pediatric population. Case: we report a case of a 12 year old female patient admitted in our clinic due to asymptomatic brown macular lesions. The lineal pattern trough the inferior limbs was remarkable and, after dermatological review, a phototoxic reaction was first considered. Afterwards the patient declared she had used a rue alcoholic solution. Conclusion: lineal acquired dermatological lesions commonly have an exogenous origin. It’s important to know the circumstances that underwent before they appear to make a right diagnosis.

Palabras clave : Phototoxicity; Photosensitivity disorders; Ruta graveolens; Rue.
