Zosteriform porokeratosis – A case in a 7 year old girl of African descent
Abstract
Porokeratosis is an uncommon, inherited, autosomally dominant disorder of epidermal keratinization of
uncertain cause. Five clinical variants of porokeratosis have been described. Zosteriform porokeratosis is an
extremely rare presentation of linear porokeratosis with potential for malignant transformation. We report,
for the first time, a 7 year old African girl with Zosteriform porokeratosis.
