title: Porokeratosis arising in a burn scar.
abstract: A histologically verified porokeratosis arose in a burn scar on the back of a 47-year-old man. This phenomenon has not been previously reported. We discuss the literature on porokeratosis, the relation between epidermal and dermal injury, and the genesis of this lesion.
