Abstract:
Immunosuppressive therapy has been reported to exacerbate or initiate the development of porokeratosis. We report a patient who noted a dramatic worsening of previously unrecognized lesions of porokeratosis accompanied by malaise and fatigue. He was subsequently found to have myelodysplastic syndrome. On the basis of this case, the sudden appearance or exacerbation of disseminated porokeratosis without immunosuppressive therapy may justify the search for underlying immunodepressive conditions.
