ABSTRACT

Porokeratosis is a disorder of keratinization with many clinical variants. The histological hallmark feature of porokeratosis is a cornoid lamella. Other accompanying features include lichenoid inflammation, atrophy towards the centre of the lesion, dermal cytoid bodies, and adjacent lichenoid changes. Lichenoid keratosis is a benign cutaneous condition, thought to largely represent a degenerating seborrheic keratosis or solar lentigo. The classical histologic appearances are characterized by parakeratosis, epidermal acanthosis, and a dense band of lichenoid lymphocytic infiltrate. Since a lichenoid inflammatory reaction pattern can be seen in porokeratosis it has the potential to be misdiagnosed as a lichenoid keratosis if the cornoid lamella is not identified or missed due to sampling selection. We critically review 104 cases of benign lichenoid keratosis to e stablish whether any of these cases had features to support a diagnosis of porokeratosis. With 9.6% of cases considered for re-classification, we review clues to reaching this histologic diagnosis.
