Abstract

There are five different types in the group of porokeratosis which is one of the keratinization disorders: disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis, punctate porokeratosis, porokeratosis palmaris et plantaris disseminata, linear porokeratosis and porokeratosis of Mibelli (PM). PM is classic and the most common type that can be seen anywhere on the body skin. Disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis is another type of porokeratosis which is characterized by widespread, bilateral and symmetric eruptions seen on sun-exposed areas. Although they are asemptomatic, treatment is recommended because of the possibility of developing skin malignancies. However, none of the current treatment approaches is fully effective. Here, we report two male patients diagnosed with PM and disseminated superficial actinic porokeratosis who demonstrated improvement with acitretin treatment.

Özet

Keratinizasyon bozukluklarından biri olan porokeratoz grubunda; dissemine süperfisyal aktinik porokeratoz, punktat porokeratoz, dissemine palmoplantar porokeratoz, lineer porokeratoz ve porokeratozis Mibfelli (PM) olmak üzere 5 farklı tip yer almaktadır. Klasik ve en sık görülen tipi PM olup vücudun herhangi bir yerinde görülebilir. Dissemine süperfisyal aktinik porokeratoz ise genellikle güneşe maruz kalan bölgelerde görülen çok sayıda bilateral, simetrik lezyonlarla karakterize diğer bir porokeratoz tipidir. Asemptomatik olmalarına karşın, çeşitli deri malinitelerinin gelişebilmesi nedeniyle tedavi önerilmektedir. Ancak güncel tedavi yaklaşımlarından hiçbiri tamamen etkili değildir. Burada, PM ve dissemine süperfisyal aktinik porokeratoz tanısı konulan ve asitretin tedavisiyle düzelen iki erkek hasta sunmaktayız. (Türkderm 2011; 45:107-10)
