Abstract:
We report a case of punctate porokeratosis in a 50-year old Korean man. The patient had multiple small keratotic papules and pits on his both palms and soles for more than 20 years. Histopathologic exam showed a typical cornoid lamella and loss of granular cell layer and mild vacuolar degeneration of epidermis under the cornoid lamella. The final diagnosis was the punctate porokeratosis, a rare form of porokeratosis.
