Abstract:
We report a case of 45 year old man with a porokeratosis of Mibelli on his scrotum. He presented with 4 year history of an annular pruritic skin lesion on his scrotum. The skin lesion showed an initial rapid growth, but then stabilized without further change. Histologic examination revealed a typical cornoid lamella consisting of packed parakeratotic cells. Porokeratosis in the genital area is rare, but can occur in a generalized form with genital area involvement or a localized form confined to the genital area.
