Abstract

Porokeratosis of Mibelli is a benign, rare, genetic disorder of epidermal keratinization transmitted as an autosomal dominant trait. It is characterized by single or a few well formed annular or serpiginous lesions with central hyperpigmentation, mild atrophy and dryness with  a characteristic peripheral, slightly raised, keratotic border. The histological hallmark of Porokeratosis is cornoid lamella which is a column of parakeratotic cells that invaginates the epidermis and corresponds to peripheral keratotic ridge. It is considered as premalignant condition. Here we report a case of 62 year old male with known case of squamous cell carcinoma of tongue presented with common plaque type porokeratosis of Mibelli over scalp without hairloss.DOI: 10.21276/AAMS.1900
