Abstract

Porokeratotic eccrine ostial and dermal duct nevus (PEODDN) is a rare disorder of keratinization, involving acrosyringium. Most cases were congenital, and showed linear distribution of multiple hyperkeratotic comedo-like papules and plaques located on acral extremities. Adult-onset cases were extremely rare in the English literatures and there have not been any reported cases in the Korean literatures. Moreover, there has been no report describing the dermoscopic features of PEODDN so far. So, we here report a rare case of adult-onset PEODDN with its dermoscopic finding and review of the relevant literatures.
