“…Four out of 33 cases had destructive lesions. Seventeen out of 33 cases had excessive solar exposure that was described as a trigger factor 4–12 . These latter cases and those in our series could be considered as the Mibelli type of PK that usually occurs in children and presents as a single or a few papules or plaques 8 .…”

Porokeratosis is a disorder of epidermal keratinization characterized by annular plaques with an atrophic centre and hyperkeratotic edges, and includes a heterogeneous group of disorders that are mostly inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. Facial porokeratosis is rare and is not well documented. We present six cases of facial porokeratosis seen over a period of 15 years in a hospital in Lima, Peru. In most of the cases, porokeratosis was found in younger women without any significant past medical history. Oral isotretinoin showed moderate improvement in two of our patients.

“…Porokeratosis (PK) is a disorder of epidermal keratinization characterized by annular plaques with an atrophic centre and hyperkeratotic edges. Cornoid lamella, a parakeratotic column in the upper area of the invaginated epidermis, is a hallmark of PK and is an essential feature for its diagnosis 1–12 …”

“…So far, there have been 29 published cases of porokeratosis exclusively on the face since the first report in 1980 (Table 1). [7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15] Fifteen were females and 14 were males, with ages ranging 14-56 years (mean ± standard deviation [SD], 30.72 ± 10.25). Disease duration ranged 3 months to 27 years (27-year-old male patient, since birth) 14 with a mean ± SD of 5.54 ± 5.96.…”

Porokeratosis is a heterogeneous group of disorders that are mostly inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. It has a wide variety of clinical manifestations with a characteristic histological finding of cornoid lamella. Porokeratosis usually affects the trunk or the extremities. Exclusive facial lesions are rare, although 15% of patients with disseminated, superficial, actinic porokeratosis do have facial lesions. Herein, we discuss the case of a 25-year-old woman who noticed the appearance of well-defined, brownish, macular lesions located on both cheeks. She had no other symptoms. A skin examination showed well-demarcated, multiple, brownish macules with raised hyperkeratotic borders on both cheeks and a half-palm-sized, arcuate-shaped lesion formed by grouped macules on the right cheek. No other parts of the body were affected. Histopathological examination of a biopsy specimen obtained from the hyperkeratotic margin gave a diagnosis of porokeratosis with follicular involvement of the cornoid lamellae. Topical pimecrolimus was applied twice a day to the lesions, although little improvement was achieved after 2 months.

“…The exclusive facial involvement in PM, with or without destructive lesions, is uncommonly reported. [1][2][3][4][5] The single largest published series (12 female and 3 male patients) with facial solar porokeratosis is noteworthy. 6 These 15 patients had single or multiple skin lesions, present for periods ranging between 1 and 10 years.…”
