Sudden onset of disseminated porokeratosis of Mibelli in a renal transplant patient - 07/09/11
Abstract |
Porokeratosis is a disorder of epidermal keratinization of uncertain cause. Five clinical variants of porokeratosis have been described. These include porokeratosis of Mibelli, punctate porokeratosis, linear porokeratosis, porokeratosis palmaris plantaris et disseminata, and disseminated superficial porokeratosis. Disseminated superficial porokeratosis and single plaque porokeratosis of Mibelli have each been documented to occur in association with immunosuppression. To our knowledge, only 5 cases of disseminated porokeratosis of Mibelli in transplant recipients have been reported. We present a patient who developed explosive onset of disseminated porokeratosis of Mibelli shortly after renal transplantation. It is important to differentiate this unusual variety of porokeratosis from other cutaneous manifestations in transplant patients so that appropriate therapy can be instituted.
