Disseminated superficial porokeratosis and pyoderma gangrenosum

Dermatol Online J. 2010 Oct 15;16(10):15.

Abstract

Disseminated Superficial Actinic Porokeratosis (DSAP) is usually triggered by sun exposure. In some cases sun exposure is not essential and this skin disease is related to immunosuppression. Many associated diseases are described in the literature. We report a clinical case of a patient affected by pyoderma gangrenosum, who developed DSAP.
