Linear punctate porokeratosis with ipsilateral solitary actinic porokeratosis: an unusual coexistence
Keywords:
Punctate porokeratosis, linear porokeratosis, actinic porokeratosisAbstract
Punctate porokeratosis is a rare variant of porokeratosis. Linear distribution of this entity has been described in very few cases. Herein, we report a case of rare coexistence of unilateral linear punctate porokeratosis and ipsilateral solitary actinic porokeratosis in an 18-year-old male.ÂReferences
