Article Synopsis
- Porokeratosis is a skin disorder characterized by a specific layer of keratinization called the cornoid lamella, with various clinical and histological variants.
- A case of porokeratosis with significant melanocytic hyperplasia was analyzed to rule out melanoma, revealing that 25.8% of studied cases showed this benign condition.
- The authors introduce the term "pigmented porokeratosis" for this variant and emphasize the importance of correctly identifying it to prevent misdiagnosis as melanoma in situ.
