Abstract:
We report a case of porokeratosis of Mibelli coexistence with linear porokeratosis in a 28-year old male. He had multiple discrete reddish to brownish annular plaques with peripheral keratotic ridges on the left side of the neck and axilla, and such lesions extended in a linear fashion on the left side of the upper arm and posterior aspect of the lower extremity. The cutaneous lesions started on the left neck and axilla about 6 years prior to consultation. Two years after that, new lesions developed on the left side of the upper arm and lower extremity in a linear fashion. There was no family history of similar skin disorders. A histological examination showed cornoid lamellae in the horny layer. Hypogranulosis, dyskeratotic cells and perivascular mononuclear in-filtrations were also seen beneath the cornoid lamella.
