Three-dimensional aspects of superficial disseminated porokeratosis with scanning electron microscopy*
نویسندگان
چکیده
The three-dimensional findings of the surface and from a cross section from a case of disseminated superficial porokeratois using scanning electron microscopy are reported. On the surface of the skin, irregular keratin with a serpiginous distribution was seen. A gross aspect of keratin in the hyperkeratotic wall was also observed and compared to the normal area, in which the release of corneocytes seemed normal. The cross-sectional imaging easily identified the cornoid lamella, with compact keratin surrounded by normal stratum corneum.

Porokeratosis (PK) is an uncommon disorder of epidermal keratinization characterized by annular plaques with an atrophic center surrounded by a raised, keratotic wall, with unknown aetiology and an unpredictable outcome. It has several clinical forms including porokeratosis of Mibelli, giant porokeratosis, linear porokeratosis, disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis, palmoplantar ...

Although lichen planus and vitiligo are common skin disorders, their association with two other uncommon diseases, i.e. lichen sclerosus et atrophicus and disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis, seems to be a very rare occurrence. We report herein a 70-year-old man who developed all of these four skin disorders simultaneously.
