A case of disseminated superficial porokeratosis in immunosuppressed kidney transplant recipient
Abstract
- Porokeratosis is an uncommon autosomally dominant inher ted disorder. Clinically, it is characterized by nonhealing plaques that develop most comnorly on the limbs. We report a case of disseminated superficial porokeratosis in immunosuppre sed kidney transplant recipient. An abrupt and extensive eruption of porokeratosis was observed in a 46-year-old man 7 months after renal transplantation, while being treated with cyclosporin A and prednisone. The histological features were essentially the same as the typical cornoid lamella. Immunosuppression may exacerbate or initiate the developm nt of porokeratosis in patients predisposed to alterations of cutaneous growth dynamics.
