“…For example, a number of cases have been reported in which PK on the face was the sole manifestation of the disorder (mostly in Middle-East and Indian population) and appeared to be induced and exacerbated by sun exposure. [9][10][11] 9 This one was characterized by a predominance of the female sex among the affected individuals, and the age of onset was typically the second and third decades of life, with no elements of inheritance. In addition, in SFP, the risk of malignant degeneration (especially squamous cell carcinoma) seemed to be absent, unlike the known risk of the variants mentioned above, such as PK of Mibelli, linear PK, and DSAP.…”

“…However, beyond the more defined variants, PK turns out to be a heterogeneous disorder. For example, a number of cases have been reported in which PK on the face was the sole manifestation of the disorder (mostly in Middle‐East and Indian population) and appeared to be induced and exacerbated by sun exposure 9–11 .

Porokeratosis (PK) is an autosomal dominant disorder characterized by abnormal epidermal proliferation. Several clinical variants have been described, but coexistence of multiple variants in a single patient has been reported in only a few cases. We hereby report a case of multiple variants of PK (disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis over the face and the scalp presenting with scarring alopecia and verrucous PK over genital mucosa) involving multiple unusual body sites in a single patient.

Porokeratosis is an autosomal dominant disorder of epidermal keratinization resulting from abnormal expansion of latent clones following chronic ultraviolet exposure or immunosuppression. Various clinical and morphological variants of porokeratosis are present, among which disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis (DSAP) is the most common subtype located predominantly on the sun exposed areas, whereas disseminated superficial porokeratosis (DSP) is present both on the sun exposed and sun protected areas including oral mucosa and genitalia. Porokeratosis is characterized clinically by annular plaques with atrophic center and thready border and histologically by the presence of cornoid lamella. DSAP may be missed because of its inconspicuous nature in dark skinned individuals and may sometimes be mistaken for actinic keratoses in sun-damaged skin. Here, we report a case series of five patients with disseminated porokeratosis with varied presentations.
