Abstract
- Porokeratosis is a group of genetic diseases characterized by clonal proliferation of keratinocytes. We report a 16-year-old female who presented with both linear porokeratosis and disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis. The unusual coexistence of these two types of porokeratosis is an example of a type 2 segmental manifestation of an autosomal dominant skin disorder.
