title: Coexistence of disseminated superficial porokeratosis in childhood with congenital linear porokeratosis.
abstract: Porokeratosis is a genodermatosis characterized by abnormal epidermal keratinization with the histologic finding of cornoid lamella. To date, five clinical variants have been identified. However, the coexistence of these variants in a single patient has been described only rarely. We report a 5-year-old girl with the simultaneous occurrence of porokeratotic lesions in linear and disseminated patterns. Linear lesions were detected at birth and the disseminated lesions developed at the age of 3 years. Histologically the lesions had cornoid lamella, which is typical of this condition.
