Reticulated porokeratosis. A unique variant of porokeratosis

Pediatric penile porokeratosis: A case report

“…Porokeratosis involving the genitals was first described in 1985. 4 We describe the second case of penile porokeratosis in a child. The prior patient was a 15-year-old boy with penile shaft lesions.…”

Genital porokeratosis: a series of 10 patients and review of the literature

“…Only case reports were found in the literature ( Table 2). [1][2][3][4][5][6] Genital PK is generally classified as classic or plaque-type PM, of which the true incidence is still undetermined. Although the onset of inherited PM is usually during childhood, noninherited cases seem to appear later in life, as seen in our patients and those reported in the literature.…”

“…All of our patients had a noncontributory family history, no immunosuppressed status, and no specific drug history, which was comparable with the cases reported in the literature. [1][2][3][4][5][6] Three of our patients (30%) had diabetes mellitus controlled with oral hypoglycaemic agents. Nine of our patients (90%) presented with pruritic lesions, in contrast to asymptomatic lesions in previously published studies.…”

“…Upon review of the English language literature, there were few case reports of PK involving the genital area, and only six case reports (seven patients) of localized PK truly confined to the genital area (genital PK as defined above). [1][2][3][4][5][6] Because of its rarity there is no study on the clinical presentations, associated diseases, treatment and long-term follow-up of genital PK. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the clinical manifestations, histopathology, clinical course and treatment response for genital PK.…”

Bullous and Pruritic Variant of Disseminated Superficial Actinic Porokeratosis: Successful Treatment with Grenz Rays

“…Other variants were also described: reticulated porokeratosis [3]; DSAP with sterile spongiform pustular dermatitis; hyperkeratotic porokeratosis, and a histological variant of DSAP in which areas of full-thickness coagulative epidermal necrosis were found. Porokeratosis is characterized by annular lesions surrounded by a raised and sharply marginated keratotic border.…”
