| Abstract: | Porokeratosis of Mibelli is characterized by keratotic plaques, sharply delineated from adjacent normal skin by a raised, horny ridge composed of a keratotic column of cells with a characteristic histology, the cornoid lamella. A case study of a 72 year old male with a forty year history of a plaque over dorsum of left hand is described. Biopsy confirmed the diagnosis of porokeratosis of Mibelli, showing the pathognomonic cornoid lamella. This consists of a tier of parakeratotic marginal material, sharply delineated and sandwiched by the normal hyperkeratosis on one side and the almost non-keratotic, atrophic epidermis centrifugally. There is no effective treatment. Small lesions may be excised, or destroyed by deep electrodessication or cryosurgery. |
