AI Article Synopsis
- Porokeratosis of Mibelli is a rare skin condition linked to immunosuppression and potential cancer risk.
- A patient was observed with a long-term skin lesion on the right fifth finger, which was confirmed through histological analysis as Porokeratosis of Mibelli.
- This case is notable because it represents an unusual instance of the condition affecting just one finger, as it typically affects multiple extremities.
Article Abstract
Porokeratosis of Mibelli is an uncommon dermatosis, which may be associated with immunosuppression and which may undergo malignant transformation. We report a patient with a chronic history of a skin lesion of his right 5th finger that was histologically confirmed to be Porokeratosis of Mibelli. Although it commonly affects the extremities, the isolated involvement of an individual digit of the hand has not been previously reported.

Porokeratosis is a condition characterized by abnormal epidermal keratinization with a unique morphology of papules or plaques surrounded by a thread-like border of scale corresponding to the cornoid lamella on histology. Many established subtypes have been described; however, genitogluteal porokeratosis is a rare entity. We present the case of a 58-year-old male with pruritic reddish lesions affecting the genitals and thighs, diagnosed with genital porokeratosis.

The term autoinflammatory keratinization diseases (AIKDs) was recently proposed as a unifying concept for diseases characterized by inflammation in the epidermis and upper dermis which leads to hyperkeratosis, caused by genetic perturbations of the innate immune system. We present a case of a patient with hidradenitis suppurativa and porokeratosis, two AIKDs, followed by a review of these conditions as well as other AIKDs. This case was distinguished by hypertrophic porokeratoses involving cystic hair follicles, showing histopathologic features of both conditions within single biopsy specimens.
