Dermatol Online J. 2010 Dec 15;16(12):12.

Abstract

Porokeratosis is a disorder of clonal hyperproliferation of keratinocytes with several different clinical manifestations. Cutaneous lesions vary in their appearance and distribution. All variants share the distinguishing cornoid lamella on histopathological examination. We present an unusual case of disseminated porokeratosis of Mibelli in an immunocompetent patient.
