Porokeratosis is a skin disorder clinically characterized by annular plaques with
keratotic borders resembling the Great Wall of China and histopathologically by
cornoid lamellae. The disease has several clinical variants. Porokeratosis
ptychotropica, which has recently become part of these variants, is quite rare
and little known. The entity is characterized by verrucous plaques – which may
resemble a psoriasis plaque – that affect the regions of the buttocks, most
commonly the gluteal cleft, with or without extremity involvement. Itching is
often present. We report a rare case of porokeratosis ptychotropica and
highlight its unusual manifestation (single plaque), the first case reported in
the Brazilian literature.
