Genital porokeratosis of Mibelli.

Abstract

Porokeratosis of Mibelli is a disorder of epidermal proliferation in which many different clinical forms can be distinguished. Two male patients with a localized type of porokeratosis limited to the genitalia are reported. Later in life they developed an annular skin lesion with peripheral keratotic ridge. The histological examination of a biopsy specimen showed the characteristic features of porokeratosis. There was no family history of similar skin disorders and the patients were not on any drugs. Genital porokeratosis is probably underdiagnosed and we believe that these patients should be followed up on account of the precancerous potential of this disease. (Genitourin Med 1995;71:410-41 1)

Bilateral perianal inflammatory verrucous porokeratosis (porokeratosis ptychotropica)

“…This is a distinct entity, which does not fit easily under any of the recognized types of porokeratosis. Porokeratosis of Mibelli is recognized to occur in the genital area 2 . However, it differs clinically from our case, forming discrete atrophic lesions with hyperkeratotic edges.…”

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

“…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.…”

Genitogluteal Porokeratosis: 10 Years to Make the Diagnosis!

“…So far, less than 40 cases of GGP have been reported in the literature. [1][2][3][4][5]8,[10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22] A review of these cases revealed common atypical features that may justify considering this entity as a distinct type of porokeratosis. The atypicality manifested at the level of the clinical presentation, clinical associations and course, and even histology.…”
