“…We describe the second case of penile porokeratosis in a child. The prior patient was a 15‐year‐old boy with penile shaft lesions . Our patient is of particular interest because of his young age and the lesion's location at the urethral meatus.…”

“…Porokeratosis, a disorder of epidermal keratinization, may be acquired or inherited. 1 Classic porokeratosis presents in childhood, 2 but genital porokeratosis typically manifests in adults; a review of 22 cases with genital lesions revealed the mean age at presentation to be 42 years. 3 To the best of our knowledge, there is only one previously published case of pediatric penile porokeratosis.…”

We present what we believe to be the second case of pediatric penile porokeratosis and the youngest case reported. A 6-year-old boy presented with a pruritic, verrucous growth at the urethral meatus that recurred after two meatotomies. The diagnosis of porokeratosis was confirmed by biopsy. Porokeratosis should be added to the differential diagnosis of chronic hyperkeratotic penile lesions in children.

“…Özellikle uzun süredir mevcut olan lezyonlar, yaşlı olgular, lineer PK, öncesinde radyasyona maruz kalmış olan olgular ve ekstremitelerdeki büyük lezyonlar yüksek risk taşımaktadır. Bu nedenle malin olasılığı gözönünde tutularak PK'lı olguların tedavi edilmesi ve düzenli olarak izlenmesi gereklidir 1,2 . Özellikle izole PK lezyonlarında en etkili tedavi seçeneği cerrahi olmakla birlikte, lezyonun yerleşimi ve büyüklüğü nedeniyle bazı olgularda bu yaklaşım mümkün olmayabilir 1 .…”

Porokeratosis (PK), a disorder of epidermal keratinization with a unique clinical appearance, is characterized histopathologically by the presence of cornoid lamella. Many different clinical forms of PK have been described i.e., classical plaque-type PK of Mibelli, disseminated superficial actinic PK, linear PK, PK palmaris et plantaris disseminata, and punctate PK. Linear PK is a rare variant of PK presenting with slightly scaly atrophic papules following Blaschko's lines. Additionally, PK confined to the genital area is also an uncommon condition. Both genital and linear PK are extremely rare and only one case of genital linear PK has been reported in the literature. Here, we report the case of a patient with penile linear PK who was treated with diclofenac sodium gel and imiquimod cream but did not recover. (Turkderm 2014; 48: 160-2)

“…A few cases of linear arrangement of lesions have been reported. Kienast and Hoeger in 2009 18 reported a 15-year-old male with a 2-year history of multiple erythematous linear atrophic lesions along the dorsum of the penis and prepuce with cornoid lamellae on biopsy. A similar case was reported in a 39-year-old male, which resolved by liquid nitrogen cryotherapy over a 6-month period and without recurrence at 2 years.…”

Porokeratosis is an uncommon disorder of keratinization that presents with keratotic papules or annular plaques that expand centrifugally with a thread-like elevated border. A distinctive histologic structure, the cornoid lamella, is diagnostic of this disorder and consists of a column of parakeratosis with the absence of the granular layer and dyskeratotic cells in the upper spinous zone. Porokeratosis confined to the genitogluteal region is rare and may be subclassified into three types, namely, classical porokeratosis on the genital region, ptychotropic porokeratosis most often seen in the natal cleft and buttocks and penoscrotal porokeratosis that is seen on the penis and adjacent scrotal skin in young men in their third decade of life. Genitogluteal porokeratosis is usually pruritic and may be undiagnosed for several years as it does not resemble classical porokeratosis in many cases; however, a biopsy is diagnostic. In general, response of genital porokeratosis to any modality of treatment is disappointing. No malignant changes have hereto been reported in porokeratosis restricted to the genitogluteal region.
