Abstract:
Disseminated superficial porokeratosis (DSP) is a keratinization disorder characterized by multiple small lesions with a slightly elevated, sharply defined ridge over the whole body. Inflammatory DSP has common clinical features, which involve a several-year history of asymptomatic DSP and the sudden appearance of intensively pruritic erythematous papules over the entire body. These lesions subside within several months, leaving a brownish atrophic lesion. We report on a 64-year-old man who displayed an atypical clinical feature of inflammatory DSP.
