Abstract:
A case of porokeratoma is reported.A 35-year-old man presented with asymptomatic verrucous nodules on both buttocks for more than 1 year.Skin examination at the first visit revealed two pea-sized verrucous nodules on bilateral buttocks.The lesions recurred at the primary site 3 months after surgical resection.At the second visit,there were 4 verrucous nodules,including 1 on the left buttock and 3 on the right buttock.Histopathological examination showed a well-defined lesion characterized by acanthosis and compact,thick orthokeratosis with seveal broad cornoid lamellae.A diagnosis of porokeratoma was made.The lesion was resected again followed by oral acitretin treatment.No recurrence was observed during 15 months of follow up.
