Abstract
-
We report a case of a 55-year-old male renal transplant patient, who showed 1 cm sized six round brownish macules on both arms and legs for 8 months. These lesions were stable without change in size or number and histopathologically were consistent with the finding of porokeratosis. We think that this lesion is the mixed type which shares the character of Mibelli's porokeratosis and disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis.
