Abstract:
Porokeratosis may be due to an abnormal clone of cells, predisposing affected individusls to development of malignant neoplssm over involved area. A 58-year old female is prsented with basal cell epithelioma associated with PPPD, exhibiting the classical histopathologic criteria of the disease. Total excision for basal cell epithelioma and oral administration of etretinate for the treatment of porokeratosis plantaris, palmaris et disseminata and for the prevention of cancer developrnent resulted in good response.
